On Tuesday, Microsoft unveiled the latest devices and hardware that will all be unified by running variants of Windows 10. Here are the best new pieces of technology you'll be able to get your hands on very soon.

Resurrected Lumias

As expected, Microsoft announced the return of the Lumia smartphone line, minus Nokia's involvement and launching with the new, still unreleased Windows 10 mobile operating system. Starting in November, you'll have three options with which to use Windows 10 Mobile: the Lumia 950, the Lumia 950 XL, and the Lumia 550.

The Lumia 950 is Microsoft's new flagship phone, sporting a 5.2-inch QuadHD screen and 20-megapixel PureView camera, all powered by a Snapdragon 808 with 3GB RAM and liquid cooling. It launches in November at about $550.

The flagship's phablet version, the Lumia 950 XL, will launch the same time but at a $100 price hike for the upsized 5.7-inch QuadHD display. It will run a Snapdragon 810 with 3GB of RAM, and a larger battery, but features the same PureView camera and of course the same Windows 10 Mobile operating system.

The cheapest option is the 5-inch Lumia 550, which is going on sale in December for an incredibly low $140 base price. But you'll only be running a Snapdragon 210 with 8GB of storage and a 5-megapixel camera.

Surface Pro 4

Of course, the new Lumia phones weren't the only thing generating buzz before the unveiling. Everyone wanted to see the new Surface Pro, and Microsoft obliged.

The Surface Pro 4 comes with a 12.3-inch display covered with thick Gorilla Glass 4. It sports integrated cortana and Windows 10, and is compatible with older Surface keyboard covers. But the new keyboard cover comes with a fingerprint sensor.


Microsoft says the new tablet is the thinnest and most powerful Intel PC ever made, promising to be about 50 percent faster than the MacBook Air.

There are lot more accessories available now, including the Surface Pen, which has a digital eraser on the end of it and a button to activate Cortana. It is available at the end of October, starting at $900. You can get a Surface Pro 4 with up to 1TB of storage and 16GB of RAM, but you'll have to pay a lot more.

Surface Book

Who knew that Microsoft would also have a higher end laptop to compete with the MacBook Pro? The Surface Book is just that, and while it's still a laptop / tablet hybrid, with all of the hardware in the screen half, it looks like a big challenge to the MacBook Pro. It also just looks like a MacBook Pro.

Instead of the keyboard cover, Microsoft has created a larger base unit that the Surface Book snaps into and holds tightly, similarly to the new Pixel C hybrid recently debuted by Google. It sports a 13.5-inch touchscreen display, a full-sized backlit laptop keyboard with a 5-point multi-touch glass trackpad, 2 USB 3.0 ports, a full SD card slot, and the 6th Generation Intel Core i7 chip.
