A lot has been said about the latest innovations on laptops, but Microsoft's Surface Book may prove to be a little different from other laptops in the market once you see its flexible transformation.

According to Digital Trends, the Microsoft Surface Book has a lot of similarity with the Surface Pro line when it comes to appearance as well as functionality. But according to the website, the Surface Book's 2-in-1 feature, is, by far, the best they've seen.

So what makes it different? The detachable monitor is a surprising trick, allowing it that to be used as a separate tablet. It may be odd looking at some point, but the usability of the said Surface Book is impressive.

The Microsoft Surface Book's detachable capability is made possible by the use of a fulcrum hinge. The hinge does not only allow the monitor to be detached, but it also serves as a weight regulator for the keyboard. The fulcrum hinge of the Surface Book will carry most of the display monitor's weight to make a balanced laptop. It will also regulate the distance of the monitor or detachable tablet from the user when it is being used on laptop mode. 

Slated with a $1,500 price tag, users can say that the Microsoft Surface Book can be highly compared to Apple's MacBook Pro 13 and Lenovo's Yoga 900.

The Surface Book is fully equipped with an Intel Core i5-6300U, 8 GB of Random Access Memory and 128 GB PCIe SSD. 

The Verge also gave its own review on the Microsoft Surface Pro. The news outlet immediately noticed the device's nicely spaced keys and the elegant combination of black and silver color. They also commended how the Surface Book has carefully spaced out the keys as well as the trackpad. It might resemble the MacBook Pro, but Microsoft's Surface Book has used magnesium for some of its materials. 

For more device protection, the Surface Book is also magnetically joined together in order to eliminate excessive movement on the "inner surface" of the device. It features a 13.5-inch display and an unconventional tall screen rather than a wide one.

According to The Verge, the unique screen choice is because Microsoft went for the aspect ratio of 3:2 instead of 16:9 or 16:10, which most laptop models have these days.

However, the gap that has been caused by the fulcrum hinge may be the only setback as it provides a rather ugly picture, but that's just the physical side.
