Money laundering is the process of transforming the profits of crime and corruption into ostensibly 'legitimate' assets.
The Surface Book is on the heavy side at around 1.5kg, but its footprint, at 31.23cm wide by 23.21cm deep, is perfectly acceptable for a laptop with a 13.5-inch screen. For the record, the Surface Pro 4 has a footprint of 29.21cm wide by 20.14cm deep. The hinge design adds a bit of height to the back of the chassis, so that when closed the Surface Book is relatively thick at the back -- 2.28cm, tapering to 1.3cm at the front.
Surface Book vs 13-inch MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro and the Surface Book have very similar size and weight specs. The MacBook Proâs display is 13.3 inches, while the Surface Bookâs is 13.5 inches, the MacBook Pro is 3.48 lbs while the Surface Book is 3.34 lbs with its keyboard. The battery life in both brands is the same: 12 hours. Pretty comparable numbers.
