Surface book looks nice but i think its expensive as compared to other options in the market
Actually it is one of its kind and if we compare it to the macbook and $200 difference it worth of it as you can see in the post comparison between both shows that surface book have 6th gen processor with large display and resolution. Additionally surface book can be used as a tablet and Surface Pen is something which makes it different then others. 360 degree rotation of the screen and unique hinge make it something different.
