Here, you can see that the screen is protected by a glass sheet, and inside the top bezel, you’ll find the Windows Hello-certified camera that has a 5MP sensor with 1080p video recording capability. However, we feel it was a bit bouncy when the display is opened. This is pretty much where the hinge mechanism comes into place – its serpentine shape provides good balance and smooth operation.

The laptop goes all the way from 15mm to 23mm in thickness, because of its unorthodox hinge mechanism. Make no mistakes, this is not your average thin and light notebook. You can check the prices and configurations in our Specs System: The great thing about this configuration is that the keyboard dock portion of the device actually has its own battery that significantly improves the battery life of the tablet – more on that, later. We’re very interested to see if this processor is going to bottleneck such a potentially powerful graphics card, and how exactly did Microsoft manage to execute the communication between the two.

Furthermore, it is groundbreaking that the CPU is located in the “tablet”, while the GPU resides inside the base. No matter if you’re going for the 13.5-inch or the 15-inch model, the ability to pop the display and do some quick work on the go is outstanding.
