If you live in the UK or Australia, you'll soon be able to get your hands on the Surface Book 2 . Microsoft's latest hybrid laptop is now available for preorder in 17 new markets.

The Surface Book 2 features a powerful graphics card for gaming and offers both a 13-inch and 15-inch display. As a laptop, it's meant to compete with the MacBook Pro , but the screen also comes apart from the keyboard so you can use it as a tablet.

Both models are already available in the US, and the 13-inch version was also already available in the UK and Australia. You can preorder the 15-inch version starting today in Australia and the United Kingdom, along with several other European countries.

Microsoft will also launch both versions of the Surface Book 2 in China, Hong Kong, India, Italy and more starting in February.
