Microsoft officially announced the Surface Laptop 4, which offers both the AMD or Intel processors across both the 13.5- and 15-inch models. Of course, Mac laptops are optimized to work with Intel processors, so you might have trouble with the other option.

Although it will ship in 16GB of memory, at a suggested list price of $1,499 — the current highest-end model at the time of Amazon's announcement is $1,713 for 16GB of RAM and an Intel Core i7 processor.

In addition to the AMD and Intel processors, despite the lower price and CPU choice, you'll be glued to your Surface Laptop because of its S Pen stylus. With its detachable case, you can even power it off and charge it up without a problem.

This is the company's latest foray into the PC realm, which it has reinvented over the past few decades with a line of laptop and tablet computers.

Microsoft probably modeled it after MacBooks — which it bought for $2.4 billion back in 2012 — but was looking for something that was still built for trade show demos and if you threw a video stream at it, you'd be pretty concerned about losing a connection.

Yes more expensive, but it's good enough to justify because Apple designs its laptops so well, they actually a more flexible foundation for other cutting-edge features.
