The reality is that companies file countless patents every year and most of them are never seen.  However, in recent years we have seen many of Microsoft&#8217;s patents materialize in different products such as Surface Duo and Surface Neo.  Now we see a patent of what could be Surface Book 4.<\/p>\n<h2>Surface Book 4 could change its design and resemble the iPad keyboard<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Surface Book<\/strong> It is a device with a different design that leaves no one indifferent.  Some of us love it, like Pablo Ora\u00e1 or a server, and others find it an error due to its open hinge.  A new patent suggests that <strong>we could see a sea change in the design of Surface Book 4<\/strong> or have a <strong>Surface Studio Mini<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;A hinge on a computing device includes a primary bracket that connects a display to a bracket&#8221;<\/em>says the abstract of the patent.<em> \u201cAs the screen rotates around the mount, the primary mount slides along a friction strip, which stabilizes the screen relative to the mount.  A stabilizer can connect the stand to the base or the stand to the screen.  <\/em><\/p>\n<p>At first glance, the patent sketches look a bit like the <strong>Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad<\/strong>.  It seems that the design allows the screen to rest at different angles, thanks to a stabilizing part.<\/p>\n<p>It is not the first time that we have seen a design of this style.  We had already seen it in the <strong>Acer ConceptD 3 and the HP Elite Folio<\/strong>.  These devices allow us to tilt the screen so that the only thing that is visible is the trackpad.  That is why we consider that it could be a renewal of the Surface Book 4 or an adaptation of the Surface Studio to a portable device.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>One of the &#8220;downsides&#8221; to the Surface Book is <strong>your ultrabook processor.<\/strong> This radically limits its power when it is on the screen of the device.  This new design would allow a much more powerful Surface Book to be made while retaining its original idea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the past we were wary of Microsoft patents.
