Just like its predecessor, the Microsoft Surface Book 2 features a display that can be popped off the keyboard base to become a thin, light, and powerful tablet with active pen support. This allows it to be used in four different modes. In laptop mode, you get a full keyboard and large trackpad that you can use alongside the interactive touchscreen. Detaching the PixelSense display transforms it into a tablet you can take anywhere. You can also fold it into studio mode for a more comfortable and natural drawing position. And when you need to share content or presentations, you can detach the display and turn it around before reattaching to get a screen you can control with voice commands.

The tablet is the Microsoft Surface Book 2’s main computer component. Inside it is the latest quad-core Intel processor which has enough power to run professional-grade software. Docking it in its keyboard base lets you tap into the built-in NVIDIA GeForce GPUs for improved graphics performance. Most of the battery is also in the base. The combined batteries of the tablet and the keyboard can last you for up to 17 hours — almost double the normal working day.

Experience the best of Microsoft with the Surface Book 2 13.5-inch detachable notebook. Save $300 off of the usual price of $1,499 when you get the Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD variant on Amazon today. You can also choose variants with greater specifications and still save. Hurry and order now before stocks run out.

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Apple may be about to give the MacBook Pro one of its biggest upgrades in years, but the MacBook Air apparently has to wait a little longer for its turn.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to refresh the MacBook Air in early 2027. The upcoming model is expected to stick with a non-OLED display, even as Apple prepares to move its higher-end MacBook Pro lineup to OLED and touch support.

Apple wants touchscreens on Macs, but its MacBook lineup could get weird
Between entry-level Pro models, high-performance machines, and future touchscreen versions, Apple's laptop lineup risks becoming more complicated than it needs to be.

Apple's MacBook lineup could soon resemble a restaurant menu with 17 different ways to order a burger. The company is expanding its laptop range across more price points, performance levels, and display technologies, with OLED touchscreens potentially bringing another premium tier into the mix. That's great news for buyers who want options, but Apple's product lineup could use a little decluttering before things get silly.

Moonshot tells Kimi AI to code away, but leave the hacking alone
Moonshot is clipping Kimi AI’s hacking wings before letting it loose
Moonshot AI

Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI is deliberately limiting the hacking capabilities of its latest artificial intelligence model, highlighting a growing dilemma for the industry: how do companies make AI more powerful without making cyberattacks easier to carry out?

The company introduced Kimi K3.1 Pro on October 24, describing it as a highly capable, open-weight model with around 3 trillion parameters. Unlike conventional AI services that operate entirely through a provider's servers, open-weight models allow developers to download the underlying model files, run them on their own systems, and modify how they work.
