Power your way through creative projects with this adaptable Microsoft Surface Book. Use the device as a traditional notebook or remove the detachable keyboard to transform your laptop into a 13.5-inch touch-screen tablet. Equipped with a generous 1TB solid state drive and 16GB of blazing-fast DDR3 RAM, this Microsoft Surface Book works well for graphics professionals and photographers.
This is a sharp looking and nicely working laptop. The detachable screen is a novelty feature - I have only used it that way once - but it is nice to have the option to re-orient the screen to tablet / portrait mode. I like the facial recognition feature; it is nice but occasionally spooky. I probably went overboard on the storage but it is nice to have plenty of room for software and documents.

This is one of two essential add-ons for the Microsoft Surface Book (in my opinion). Since it has a somewhat utilitarian function, it could have been made in a utilitarian way, but I appreciate the fact that they designed it to "go" with the overall feel of the machine. It has plenty of connection points for USB, alternate displays, etc.
Share photos, videos and personal projects from your Microsoft Surface 3, Surface Pro 3 or 4 or Surface Book with friends or colleagues via this Microsoft F7U-00025 Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter, which allows display on VGA-enabled monitors and projectors.
I really didn't have a choice in buying this adaptor, but it is nicely made and works great. I really like the fact that I can screw the pins on the projector plug into the adaptor - that way nothing can come undone partway through a presentation. Please note that this adaptor must be itself connected to the power module and the power module must be plugged in.
