Now with all this said it really comes down to is the price of the Surface Book 2 worth it? Sure, you can get a 13.5’ that is $1,149 but that only comes with a Core i5 and you can’t get your gaming on like you might want to. The model I been rocking is $2,900 and for that price you can get some tricked out gaming laptops with a ton more power. Surface Book 2 is gorgeous but it’s a costly decision to make.

However, the one factor that prevents me from investing in this machine myself is that behemoth price tag. The Surface Book 2 in India starts at a price of Rs. 1,37,999 and for that price, you’re getting a powerful laptop in a portable size along with a detachable screen and great battery life, but is the form factor and build worth paying that extra money for, as a generic laptop with specs as the Surface Book 2 can be found for under half the price? For a student like me, probably not. But if you’re a professional and want to invest in a portable Windows machine specifically and don’t do a lot of processor/graphics-intensive work like video-editing or heavy gaming, and want a premium laptop with a battery that lasts you all day even while traveling, the Surface Book 2 can be a solid option.

In many areas that Microsoft Surface Book 2 is an unrivalled pro workhorse; a device more versatile than just being a laptop. It further cements Microsoft's position as a hardware manufacturer to be reckoned with and, we suspect, will go down a storm with many creatives as "the ultimate 2-in-1".

Microsoft Surface Book 2 review: The ultimate laptop improves in every way but one
Source: Good Gear Guide Archive.org version
The bottom line? If you can afford a Surface Book 2, we’d recommend it. So many of its attributes are simply fantastic, including its graphics performance and stellar battery life. If Microsoft had avoided all of the complications associated with its decision to incorporate USB-C (omitting Thunderbolt, upgrading the Dock), we’d be hard-pressed to find anything wrong with the Surface Book 2 at all. Microsoft has made its “ultimate laptop” even better, in many ways. Just not all of them.

Source: Engadget Archive.org version
The Surface Book 2 is exactly what we've wanted from a high-end Microsoft laptop. It's powerful, sturdy and its unique hinge doesn't come with any compromises. While there are cheaper Windows laptops out there with similar specs, the Surface Book 2 stands apart by bringing together some of the best hardware around with the flexibility of a convertible notebook. It's the closest a PC maker has come to taking on the MacBook Pro, both in style and substance.

Source: Slashgear Archive.org version
If you’re a Windows fan, though, there are several very good reasons why the Surface Book 2 should be top of your list when it comes to upgrading your laptop. Only the absence of Thunderbolt 3, and the fact that you get a single USB-C port mar the experience. Otherwise, the Surface Book 2 wraps cutting-edge performance in a beautifully made package, and if that’s not giving Apple sleepless nights then they’re not paying enough attention.

Surface Book 2 brings this wonderful hybrid up to date. It's designed to empower its users, to ensure that the hardware doesn’t present any limitations within Microsoft's vision of the future of mobile productivity. But that still comes at a price and great as it may turn out to be, cash is still king and you can get this power elsewhere for cheaper.

Microsoft Surface Book 2 hands-on review – bigger and 5x faster
Source: Digital Arts Archive.org version
What isn’t disappointing, though, is our first look at the Surface Book 2. And unlike years past, Microsoft is launching a major OS update, the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, on top of this new hardware. That’s a one-two punch competitors like Apple and Google employ. Now Microsoft is taking that tactic and using it to its advantage.

While Microsoft digs its feet in the sand on the Fulcrum hinge design and resultant 'gap', the Surface Book 2 is absolutely current with the most powerful Intel and Nvidia hardware, while getting thinner and lighter than ever. Plus, with a 15-inch model now in the cards, Apple's claim to creative pro supremacy (and otherwise) has been seriously challenged.

Microsoft Surface Book 2 15

The Microsoft Surface Book 2 15 is the manufacturer’s attempt at making a touchscreen Windows device with digital ink support. They pushed it to the limit with a larger 15-inch display, a more powerful processor, and discrete graphics. Instead of just being one device that flips inside out, like most of the best 2-in-1 laptops, the Surface Book 2 is truly two devices in one. It is designed to increase productivity, especially for business professionals. The Surface Book 2 is far more protected than the original Surface Book, especially now that Intel has released patches with Microsoft through the Windows 10 update tool that makes the Surface Book 2 much more resilient to the Spectre and Meltdown CPU exploits. But the Surface Book 2 is not just about improved security. It takes the pristine design of the original Surface Book and modernizes it ever so slightly to please the critics. The hinge, for instance, is much more sturdy. Like its predecessor, the Surface Book 2 has a hefty metal chassis coated in a professional, elegant matte silver coat that tries to distinguish itself from other devices. At the heart of the Microsoft Surface Book 2 15 sit an 8th-gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, a 256GB solid-state drive, and Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics. The hardware in this system is quick, and users are expected to pay up. The Surface Book 2 should last at least five years, thanks to its powerful hardware and contemporary features. Simply put, this is the strongest 2-in-1 laptop, ready to go toe-to-toe with not only every hybrid laptop on the market but also a wide range of gaming laptops. And with Windows 10 S mode incoming soon, it is likely for users to be able to squeeze even more performance out of the Surface Book 2.

The 15-inch touchscreen on the Surface Book 2 offers a 3,240 x 2,160 resolution in a 3:2 aspect ratio. While not quite 4K, it does cram 260 pixels into every inch, which is more than enough to offer a perfectly sharp image. The Surface Book 2’s average color error came in at 3.96 (lower is better). This relatively high reading is due to overblown colors. Everything looks too bright and too vibrant. While it is not unappealing to the naked eye, it is not accurate and may throw off photographers, graphics, and video editors. However, maximum brightness came in at 428 nits, which is slightly behind the MacBook Pro but defeats most other laptops and 2-in-1s. A laptop with a 15-inch screen is large enough to deliver strong audio, and the Surface Book 2 is no exception. Its beefy stereo sound has no problem filling a mid-sized room with music. Microsoft has blessed the 15-inch model with an outstanding 90 watt-hours of juice. Most of the battery is still in the base of the Surface Book 2. If the user detaches the screen and moves to tablet mode, they will only get an hour or two of usable work. However, when attached, the user will get up to seven hours of battery life.

As it turns out, one of the best 2-in-1 laptops to date is just a larger Surface Book – one that can handle the latest PC games and last for a helluva long time, to boot. Not to mention that this is the best tablet for drawing that we’ve tested yet. We just wish Microsoft did a bit more with the extra space afforded by the new 15-inch form factor.

Comment

Microsoft:

Microsoft smartphones and tablets have been tested since 2012. There are many reviews with average ratings. The reader's interest is quite given, but the market share is not big enough for the Top 5 smartphone manufacturers (as of 2016).

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile: Mainstream graphics card based on Nvidia's Pascal architecture and successor to the GeForce GTX 960M. Is manufactured in a 14nm process at Samsung and the technical specifications are very similar to the desktop version.

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile: The mobile GTX 1060 is based on the GP106 chip and offer 1280 shaders. Compared to the identically named desktop version it features a slightly lower clock rate. Games in Full HD and maximum details should run fluently on the card.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Intel Kaby Lake Refresh:

i7-8650U: Kaby-Lake-Refresh based low power quad-core processor. The four cores are clocked between 1.9 and 4.2 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading. The integrated GPU is clocked between 300 and 1,150 MHz. The SoC is manufactured in a 14nm+ FinFET process.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

15.00:

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

No weight comment found (one expected)!

85.24%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.

» Further information can be found in our Notebook Purchase Guide.
