Microsoft is anything but out of the mobile phone business, in spite of rumors and assumptions derived from its disassociation from Nokia, and the handoff of Lumia mobile phone division.

Microsoft has turned up the heat on its competition, last November, by upgrading its flagship Surface Book, to an i7 Skylake processor, a larger battery, and an improved graphic chipset. While the Surface Book i7 is not yet the Surface Book 2 we have been waiting for, the difference is visible, compared to its precursor.

If there is one thing that Microsoft got undeniably right about creative professionals, with its most recent unveiling of their brand new Microsoft Surface Studio, is that the way most people draw, draft and design, is by using both hands, not just one.

News has recently leaked from Lenovo, about the next generation of ThinkPad 2-in-1 devices. The new batch of ultraportables planned for this year, are expected to feature some pretty amazing options that could make them very attractive to those considering an alternative to the more expensive Surface Book, as well as other high-end laptops.
