Welcome the Porsche Design BOOK ONE to the Windows 10 2-in-1 family, a somewhat fast-growing family at MWC this year. Porsche Design has released its latest beautifully-designed device at MWC 2017, the BOOK ONE, a 2-in-1 powered by Windows 10 Pro, packing some pretty aesthetics and an abundance of power with it… along with a steep price tag.

Boasting a touchscreen display and Precision Touchpad, the BOOK ONE offers precise, multi-gesture input. In addition to touch input methods, the BOOK ONE also comes with a digital stylus for use with Windows Ink, which is useful for note taking, drawing and various other tasks.

Security and authentication plays a role, too. Coming with a 5MP camera with a built-in infrared sensor, this 2-in-1 is able to work with Windows Hello to authenticate with Windows 10 through facial recognition.

The housing of the BOOK ONE is made out of milled aluminium, coupled with a matte anodized surface finish, bringing its premium look. This device has a trick hidden amongst its beauty – the hinge. While noted to be a 2-in-1 convertible, it is also a 2-in-1 detachable, with the hinge allowing the screen to be detached or rotated 360 degrees.

Specifications

Inside the BOOK ONE are some impressive bits of hardware:

  • Screen resolution of 3200 x 1800 pixels
  • 13.3″ QHD+ IPS display
  • Intel Core i7-7500U, clocked at 3.5Ghz
  • 16GB RAM
  • Noiseless 512GB Intel SSD
  • 2 USB-C ports
  • 2 USB 3.0 ports
  • Dual-band WiFi
  • Bluetooth
  • Windows 10 Pro

The Porsche Design BOOK ONE will be available in Germany from April 2017 at €2,795 and in the United States at $2,495 (RRP). Other countries’ availability varies; Porsche Design stores will stock the device elsewhere at a later date.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
