The editors didn't like

  • While I praise this hybrid for its incredible performance
  • There are heavy limits on just how many games it will play with only one gigabyte of video memory. The early bugs are also something I can't ignore
  • But they're to be expected from the first run o
  • Regardless of whether these vast improvements are worth it for someone that already owns the original Surface Book
  • Microsoft is asking those customers to pony up the original price and then some for said upgrades. That the firm isn't offering the Perform
  • Premium price

  • Microsoft bewirbt das Surface Book als den ultimativen Laptop und genau das ist das Gerät auch. Das Surface Book kann alles, was ein konventionelles 13-Zoll Notebook auch schafft – es ist dünn, leicht und besitzt eine sehr lange Akkulaufzeit. Zusätzlich b...

  • Das Surface Book ist ein Detachable, also kein Tablet mit zusätzlich zu erwerbender Anstecktastatur, sondern ein Notebook mit abnehmbarer Tablet-Einheit. Die nennt Microsoft allerdings nicht so, die offizielle Bezeichnung lautet Clipboard. Das ist durchau...

  • Grafikkarte und Akku im Dock, Verarbeitung, Sehr hohe Displayqualität, Leistung
  • Lüftergeräusch, Preis
  • Das Surface Book dominiert im Test die Konkurrenz. Bis auf den hohen Preis und einige kleine Handling-Schwächen hat das 2-in-1 Tablet keine Mankos. Überragendes Arbeitstempo, wertiges Gehäuse, clevere Detaillösungen sowie lange Laufzeiten und zahlreiche...

  • For now, Surface Book is hard to recommend given the newness and the unproven hinge design, and the expensive pricing. The screen is absolutely perfect, as is the typing experience, and the battery life looks amazing. But I will need more time—and much mo...

  • Etwas zu dick und schwer, Software noch fehlerhaft, Teuer
  • Ist nun das Surface Book DAS perfekte Notebook? Diese Frage muss man leider mit Nein beantworten. Das Surface Book ist ein gelungenes Notebook, oder vielmehr ein Convertible mit vielen Vorzügen. Die Liste ist lang: ein großartiges Display, gute Lautsprecher...

  • hochwertiges Gehäuse aus Magnesiumlegierung, CPU- und GPU-Leistung eines Notebooks in einem Convertible, kein ernsthaftes CPU- oder GPU-Throttling, hohe Auflösung, helles Display auch für den Außeneinsatz, natives 3:2 Seitenverhältnis für Bildbearbeitung
  • dicker und schwerer als 13- oder 14-Zoll-Ultrabooks, Akkulaufzeit könnte besser sein, kein USB-C oder HDMI, kein WWAN oder RJ-45, kein SmartCard-Leser oder Fingerabdruckscanner, keine sekundäre Speicherlösung, kein TrackPoint oder dedizierte Maustasten,
  • Eines der Hauptziele von einem Convertible ist es, ein Notebook zu ersetzen und dem Anwender sowohl einen Betrieb als Tablet und auch Notebook zu ermöglichen. Das Ergebnis ist meistens alles andere als perfekt: Schwankende Qualität, schlechte Tastatur, ei...
