  • Unique and Innovate Design, Excellent Build Quality, Quality Pen Stylus that feels natural on the screen (including the eraser), Solid Battery Life (with Keyboard connected), Discreet GPU (in some models) can double graphic power in some applications and
  • Price! No doubt the Surface Book (especially the top end version) isn't considered cheap, Some apps on Windows 10 still don't scale perfectly on high-resolution screens, You won't be editing 4k video on this puppy. Simply not powerful enough in terms of b
  • At the end of the day, I feel there is a lot going for the Microsoft Surface Book. It certainly isn't the perfect device that many were claiming it to be the day it launched, but it does get a lot of things right, especially for a 1st generation product...

  • Fast with excellent performance, Still a great design, Includes USB Type C port for charging and data, SD card slot included, Features two standard USB ports
  • Casing is still very easy to scratch, No Surface Pen included (and has to be bought separately), Charging block is massive, Expensive
  • Every product has its flaws, and while the Microsoft Surface Book 2 isn't without its own share, the laptop-tablet hybrid is still a shining example of Microsoft's hardware division working beautifully.Essentially, it's what a sequel to the already excell...
