The only upgrade for the bigger model is a larger SSD-up to one terabyte-which bumps the price up to $3,299. The 15-inch Surface Book 2 starts at $2,499 with an i7 CPU, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics processor, 16 gigabytes of RAM and a 256 gb solid state drive. The 13.5-inch Surface Book 2 starts at $1,499 with an Intel i5 CPU, 8 gigabytes of RAM and a 256 gb solid state drive.Īvailable upgrades include an i7 CPU, Intel i5 CPU, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics processor and more RAM and larger SSD. The design is the same for each, with only slight differences in the hardware choices. The Surface Book 2 comes in two sizes, 13.5-inch and 15-inch. The hinge is rock solid, and if you didn't know how the release mechanism worked, you'd never know the screen was detachable. I sit in a chair with a wide and flat arm that's perfect for using the Surface Book 2 in easel mode. You can pop off the screen to use it as a tablet, or you can flip it around and dock it back on the keyboard and use it as a touchscreen easel, which I really liked. Of course, the entire package hinges on its hinge. That's the sexy part-Microsoft put a battery and the computer's guts behind the screen, while the keyboard has the ports, touchpad and a second battery. Out of the box, it's a Windows 10 laptop with full-size keyboard and touchpad, but with the press of one button on the keyboard, the Surface Book 2's screen detaches to give you a beautiful 13.5-inch touchscreen Windows 10 tablet. The Surface Book 2 is Microsoft's second-generation stab at a convertible. I've been reviewing the Microsoft Surface Book 2, which is a laptop-tablet convertible that's as sexy as any computer I've ever used. For more than 30 years, my computers of choice have all been Apple Macintosh.īut lately, Microsoft has been introducing some pretty darn sexy hardware as well. I've been in the IT game long enough to realize that a computer is just a tool to run software.
