Microsoft calls it the “Surface Book with Performance Base,” and with a beefed up quad-core Intel Core i7 processor inside, a discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX965M GPU, more fans and more batteries chucked in below the keyboard, we can see why the base unit is getting all the performance attention it needs.

We’ll keep calling it the Surface Book i7. Seriously, it rolls off the tongue.

And it has rolled off of pre-orders and into shipments, too. Specifically, Microsoft in the US and Canada is opening up sales for the revised detachable laptop.

The base memory option has 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM for US$2,399/CA$3,129 while the 512/16 version is $2,799/$3,629. The 1TB/16GB version will begin sales on November 28 at $3,299/$4,379.
