Microsoft, Corporation (MSFT) new laptop proves it's serious about making hardware

Microsoft, Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is showing off its hardware development capacity with the new Surface Laptop 2.

The Surface Laptop 2 runs on Intel’s latest eighth generation chips, giving it the power for high speed processing, although without dedicated graphics, the computer is not built for serious gamers. Reviewer Todd Haselton commented on the computer’s similarity to MacBooks, as it is fast, thin, light, and even offers a touch-screen display.

CNBC‘s Todd Haselton provides commentary on the device:

It’s convenient to be able to reach out and tap an icon or switch an app through the touch screen. You can also buy a stylus and use the screen for marking up documents or fine-tuning a Photoshop image. I like that Microsoft still includes a more traditional USB port for keyboards, mice and other peripherals, instead of following Apple and forcing users to USB-C. There’s no SD card slot, though, if that’s important to you.

Haselton also praised the quality of the keyboard and Windows 10, which features a program called Windows Hello, that allows instant access from recognizing user’s faces.

Microsoft, Corporation shares were trading at $110.48 per share on Tuesday afternoon, up $2.88 (+2.68%). Year-to-date, MSFT has gained 30.83%, versus a 6.19% rise in the benchmark S&P 500 index during the same period.

MSFT currently has a StockNews.com POWR Rating of B (Buy), and is ranked #3 of 69 stocks in the Software – Application category.
