During the Windows 10 Devices launch event, Microsoft's Surface head, Panos Panay can't help but to take a cheeky dig at one of the major competitors – Apple
He even compared the Surface Book to the MacBook Pro, saying the former was the most superior of the two

Panay's claims are understandable, because the Surface Book is remarkable. For starters, the screen is detachable and can be used as a tablet!

Furnished with silver machined magnesium, the Surface Book includes a 13.5-inch glass screen. It looks, uncannily similar to the MacBook Pro.
