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

  • Surface Book er en ufattelig lækker maskine med masser af kræfter og lang batterilevetid
  • Prisen er alt for høj, og det kan diskuteres, om Microsoft ikke burde have droppet tablet-funktionen
  • Microsoft Surface Book er en ufattelig lækker maskine, som for mange kunne være et godt alternativ til Apples MacBook Pro eller Dells XPS 13. Dertil må vi sige, at ja, den har været ventetiden værd.Desværre er prisen i den meget høje ende. Årsagen...

  • To ting var interessante, da Microsoft løftede sløret for Surface Book ved sit store event i begyndelsen af oktober.Først og fremmest var det løftet om "den ultimative bærbare", og derefter løftet om, at der ikke ville være en bærbar i sin klasse, som er...

  • Microsoft Surface Book jest rewelacyjnym produktem. Skrojonym idealnie na możliwości i potrzeby systemu Windows 10 (tutaj w wersji Pro). Działa superszybko, nie można narzekać na spowolnienia ani jakiekolwiek problemy z aplikacjami, chociaż drobne wykrzac...

  • Przeznaczeniem laptopa typu dwa w jednym jest zastąpienie użytkownikowi dwóch urządzeń czyli tabletu i normalnego notebooka. Próby stworzenia takiej hybrydy zazwyczaj dają słaby efekt, gdyż dotychczasowe modele miały wątpliwą jakość wykonania, słabą klaw...

  • Laat goed zien waartoe Microsoft in staat is, Hoge bouwkwaliteit en mooi design, Prestaties zijn van ontzettend hoog niveau, Infraroodcamera met gezichtsherkenning
  • Ontzettend duur, Zwaar, Geen usbc, Accuduur
  • Dat laatste is wellicht iets dat me het meeste is bijgebleven tijdens mijn tijd met de Microsoft Surface Book. Dit apparaat is er niet voor iedereen en dat heeft vooral met de prijs te maken. Wanneer je op zoek bent naar een laptop, dan heb je ruime keuze...

  • Lange accuduur (als laptop), Uitstekend scherm, Goede touchpad, Bouwkwaliteit
  • Geen usb-c, Gpu van vorige generatie, Prijs
  • Hoewel de Surface Book net als andere Surface-apparaten een twee-in-één-apparaat is, is het stiekem meer Microsofts eerste laptop. Officieel gaat die eer natuurlijk naar de onlangs gelanceerde Surface Laptop. Je kunt het scherm namelijk wel als tablet geb...

  • De dure Microsoft Surface Book met Performance Base is een beest van een 2-in-1 apparaat met een prachtig design. Hij komt vooral goed uit de verf als laptop. Als losse tablet is hij nogal log en de accu werkt dan een stuk minder lang.De meegeleve...
