Hello Microsoft, welcome to the Laptop race … Microsoft Surface Book

Microsoft just introduced its first-ever laptop on Tuesday, called Surface Book.

Weighing in at a little over three pounds, Surface Book is the fastest 13-inch laptop ever created, and it’s two times faster than Apple’s MacBook Pro, according to Microsoft.

It will be available October 26 starting at $1,499.
