The Surface Book's design isn't for everyone
But I simply fell in love with its futuristic look. Whether it looks odd or just ahead of the curve will depend on your perspective
But you can't deny Microsoft has made a daring move with its dynamic fulcrum

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
Questionable design choices
Backlit keyboard
Some software bugs
Configurations with the optional Nvidia GPU and more storage get very expensive. There are some first-generation quirks
Including an awkward gap between the screen and base when closed
Expensive. Really expensive
Struggles with gaming
Despite its graphics card
Average battery life
Hinge fairly upright at maximum and reverse position not solid enough
Weighty
Expensive
Would like a smaller version (more Surface like)
Combined battery not as claimed (around 8-hours average)
Windows has a tablet app gap
Software bugs
Tabletonly battery could be longer
Heavy for a tablet
HiDPI mode fails for desktop apps
Interface is a mess if you dig deep enough
Disappointing tablet battery life
Buggy
Functionality can be hit/miss
Super expensive
Can be quite buggy at times
Do you really need the tablet?
Rather expensive
The grey attracts marks
It's also slightly thicker and heavier than last year's version
And retains the odd gap on the folding hinge. Expensive compared to other options. Doesn't meet minimum specs for VR gaming
So expensive it hurts
Battery life in tablet mode is short
Connectivity low without dock
Big starting price for tiny storage/RAM
Rather pricey
A bit hefty
Mediocre tablet battery life
Heavier and thicker than some competitors
No USB Type-C
Astoundingly expensive
Spongy keyboard

Very expensive

Heavy
Full performance only possible with keyboard connected
Expensive price tag
Need optional dock at a cost of £164.99 to ensure you have a sufficient amount of USB ports

Abstract: Ei ole Microsoftille tyypillistä olla altavastaajan asemassa. Tablettipuolella asia kuitenkin on näin. Tabletit alkavat olla jo mummojenkin laitteita, mutta Microsoft on vasta laittamassa lusikkaansa soppaan.Yhtiön ei pitänyt tuoda aluksi tablettiaan Suom...
Abstract: Microsoft Surface Book ble annonsert allerede høsten 2015, og Dinside var faktisk til stede under avdukingen hos Microsoft i Seattle. Og selv om Microsoft viste frem flere nyheter der, stjal Surface Book omtrent all oppmerksomhet fra de frammøtte journali...

Microsoft mener alvor og Surface Pro blir et populært innslag både i styrerom og design-studioer. Ytelsen er god, designet er enestående og i daglig bruk er den bunnsolid. I vår mening er dette en utfordrer til tronen, og det blir spennende å se hva neste...

Design, Solid skjerm, Ytelse, Tastatur, God aktiv penn
Pris
Sammenligner man Surface Book med Ultrabooker, er den verken tynnest eller lettest. Sammenligner man den med 2-i-1-maskiner, er den vesentlig kraftigere og har bedre tastatur.Dedikert grafikk gjør den velegnet som arbeidsredskap for dem med programvare so...

Svært gjennomtenkt design, Solid bygget, Utrolig god skjerm, Lett nettbrettdel, Laaaang batteridriftstid, Windows Hello, God skjermpenn, God pekeplate
Dyr, Ingen USB TypeCport, Ikke Kaby Lake, Noe støyende tastatur og pekeplate, Lite lagring
Foto: Niklas Plikk, Tek.noSom du sikkert forstår er vi ganske positive til Microsofts Surface Book fra de dagene vi har hatt med maskinen. Hybriden er ingen revolusjon, men hver del av maskinen holder en veldig høy kvalitet. Selv det snodige hengselet end...

Microsoft mener alvor med Surface Book, og det er lett å se for seg at denne blir et populært innslag både i styrerom og design-studioer. Ytelsen er god, designet er enestående og i daglig bruk er den bunnsolid. I vår mening er dette en utfordrer til tron...
Jeg skjønner ikke at de dedikerte lysknappene på tastaturet er til for bakbelysningen på tastaturet, og ikke til skjermen. Det ser ikke ut til at jeg kan endre på dette heller.Jeg måtte derfor Google meg frem til at fn (funksjonstasten) i kombinasjon med...
»Surface Book er et interessant, men ikke helt igennem vellykket bud på en bærbar i den højeste ende af skalaen. Den ser fiks ud, men designet har praktiske ulemper, som gør den knap så håndterbar, som den burde være. Skærmen er dog fremragende.«NøgletalP...
