Microsoft has unveiled a host of next-generation products including its first-ever laptop and the Surface Pro 4.

The Microsoft Surface Book was revealed as a competitor to Apple’s Macbook Pro, claiming to be the fastest 13-inch laptop ever made – two-times faster than its Macbook rival.

It will have a six-million pixel screen, which is detachable from the keyboard, 12 hours of battery life and will be available from $1,499 in October.

Microsoft’s latest tablet, the Surface Pro 4, will also be launched in October and is reportedly 50% faster than Apple’s Macbook Air.

The $899 tablet has the thinnest-ever glass ever used on a tablet, a five-million pixel screen and a smartpen – complete with an eraser – which allows users to write on it.

The latest offering in the Lumia series, Lumia 950 and 950 XL, were announced, boasting 4K video shooting, a 20 megapixel camera and the Windows Hello facial-recognition software.

They will be available from the end of the year for $549.

Also announced was Microsoft’s first low-cost smartphone, Lumia 550, which will be released at the same time for $139.
