It has the same lengthening hinge as the original Surface Book this means it can remain lightweight and doesn't require extra weight in the base to stop it tipping over
As it's already balanced
The screen can be removed from the keyboard so it can be us
The editors didn't like
It's rather heavy
Big price tag
Combined battery life is less than quoted
A little top-heavy and upright
Screen lacks ultra-wide colour gamut
Doesn't support Thunderbolt 3
Surface Pen not included
The two-in-one design still feels awkward at times
And for some users
The detachable screen may be superfluous. The most interesting new components are only available in very expensive configurations
Pricey
Base model isn't worth considering
Expensive
Surprisingly bulky
Poor battery life
Very expensive
SSd performance isn't the best
Awfully expensive
No Thunderbolt 3
High price
Battery charging can be slow
Surface Pen is not included
Drab grey finish
Speakers are so-so
Heavier than many ultraportables
Only one USB C port
Doesn't really work well as a standalone tablet
Windows 10 is still disjointed and awkward
Display's color accuracy could be better
GTX 1060 held back by custom driver
Extremely expensive
Windows still has tablet app gap
Relatively heavy
Still a bit of play in the hinge
Not very portable
Heavy
Super expensive
Rating
Very heavy to carry around at nearly 2kg
And the hinge unfortunately makes it thicker than other laptops on the market
It's very expensive
Lacks a HDMI connection for connecting it to a television
Display suffers from fingerprint marks and some glare in bright light
No longer comes with the Surface Pen stylus as standard you may need to purchase this as an optional extra

Buen rendimiento de GPU, Diseño industrial y acabado, Pantalla y compatibilidad con el Surface Pen, Versatilidad del formato 2 en 1 (para quien le resulte útil en el día a día), Teclado preciso y con buen tacto,
Ventiladores ruidosos cuando se piden "megahercios" al equipo, La alimentación no usa SB-C sino su conector propietario, El Surface Pen no está incluido y hay que comprarlo aparte

Diseño y construcción impecables, Pantalla de gran calidad y definición, Nos permite jugar a 1080p en muy buenas condiciones, Excelente autonomía
La ausencia de soporte para Thunderbolt 3, El puerto Surface Connect 2 debería dejar paso definitivo al USBC, La capacidad de la unidad SSD de esta versión es reducida, Su precio, a pesar de todas sus virtudes, es elevado
Esta versión del convertible de Microsoft nos ha dejado un «sabor de boca» muy similar al del modelo de 13,5 pulgadas que analizamos a principios de este año. Es un equipo muy bien acabado, con un diseño cuidado y una pantalla de mucha calidad que solo se...

Diseño y construcción impecables, Pantalla de gran calidad y definición, La potencia gráfica es muy bienvenida, Uno de los mejores teclados que hemos podido probar
La ausencia de soporte Thunderbolt 3 es inexplicable, El puerto Surface Connect 2 debería dejar paso definitivo al USBC, Si el ventilador se activa, lo hace con un ruido agudo y molesto, Su precio, a pesar de todas sus virtudes, es elevado
Estamos ante un equipo impecable en casi todos los frentes, pero no exento de limitaciones. Entre las más importantes probablemente esté esa ausencia de soporte Thunderbolt 3, pero también conviene recordar que la parte de la tableta es demasiado grande y...
Abstract: Ha tardado, pero el Surface Book 2 por fin está en nuestras manos. El portátil supone la segunda generación de una buena idea planteada por Microsoft, una que hace algo más de un año ya empezó a llamar la atención de todos y que sin duda ahora se perfila...
