Microsoft's Surface Book wowed many with its sleek and unique design. However, it may have found its competition in the ultra-stylish laptop department with Porsche Design's 2-in-1 Book One laptop.
Unveiled at the Mobile World Congress last February, Porsche Design's Windows-powered laptop grabbed many people's attention with its ultra-stylish design that's reminiscent of the Surface Book. It does, however, have its own unique style that may just surpass Microsoft's player in the high-end laptop game.
Book One
The Book One is a 2-in-1 Windows-powered laptop with a detachable display for tablet mode. Its shell is made of brushed aluminium and is very thin at 15.9 mm (0.63 inches). The display and keyboard are connected by gear-like hinges that allow for a 360-degree movement. It is the first laptop to have both a detachable display and a 360-degree hinge.
The Book One's release in April comes just in time as Microsoft silently released the Surface Book on their online store early in March as well as a possible April release of the Surface Book 2.
The Porsche Design Group
The Porsche Design Group is owned by — you guessed it — the automaker known for high-end, top-of-the-line automotive. The group releasing the Book One also produces high-end jackets, headphones, watches, sunglasses, and other items for clients with high-class tastes.
