Porsche Design Book One shipping in the UK from May 8

The luxury Windows 10 laptop from Porsche Design is almost upon us, with shipping commencing on May 8 at the UK Microsoft Store.

The Book One was designed in partnership with Microsoft and Intel, and is the world's first detachable and fully convertible 2-in-1 laptop. On the outside it oozes style, on the inside high-end hardware like a Core i7-7500U processor, 512GB PCIe SSD and 16GB of RAM.

In the box with every Book One is the digital pen and a USB-C to HDMI adapter, so you're not left out of luck if you're hooking up to an external display. During our brief hands-on with the Book One we were most impressed, and this is every bit the luxury laptop for those willing to pay the price.

That price is £2,395, which is a lot. But how many other designer laptops have you seen recently?
