I knew what I was doing, so Cortana only slowed me down.Īs with any Windows device, I urge you to turn off all the default ‘privacy’ – or is that anti-privacy settings at setup. This one can use Cortana to voice guide you. Setup is the typical Microsoft Windows 10. The first impression is well made matt called VaporMg magnesium and an interesting designed hinge. The i5 gets a 65W, 15/4.33A charger (same as the Surface Pro/4). The i7 gets a 95W, 15V/6.33A charger as it needs more juice to power the NVIDIA keyboard base. You get the tablet section, the appropriate base and a Surface Ribbon charger.
The nice solid box is rather bereft of goodies.

And being cheeky it has attracted many MacBook Pro users that want touch screen – come on Apple!.An enormous number end up on CEO desks if only as a status symbol.
I also have a Surface Pro 2017, and while it is best for travel due to its size I take the Surface Book for the keyboard
It has one of the best, if not the best, keyboard experiences that make it ideal for journalists to travel with.With Mixed Reality Ultra support more will be seen in the field for training and use by mechanics to visualise repairs.

Engineering/draftsmen who can use the pen/dial as a portable digitiser replacement. Creative types who can use a pen/dial and develop artwork, design, fashion, cartoons etc. Obviously, those who can afford it! But more than that it is ideally suited to Frankly, I think it is good value for what you get. It is unique – there is no other device where the screen detaches, with an NVIDIA GTX keyboard base, dual batteries and a 3:2 ratio screen.Īnd because it is unique Microsoft can charge whatever it likes. It acts like a 360° hinge notebook or a standalone tablet. What is it?Ī high-end, i5/i7, 13.5 or 15” touchscreen, detachable keyboard notebook. So, this is a fresh review against GadgetGuy test paradigms. But times have changed and so has the computing landscape. I could be cheeky and copy the Microsoft Surface Book 1 review. Batteries remain similar but the 7th and 8th generation Intel Core processors are more power efficient giving slightly longer life. The Surface Dial still works garnering more support as an alternative input device. The optional pen has 4096 levels of pressure (same as the Surface Pro 2017). Book 2 uses a new type of screen that brings the glass, sensing elements, and graphical elements closer together to increase accuracy. Screens are still 3:×2000 pixels – the best screen on any laptop. GPU Is integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics (i5/i7) as well as NVIDIA GTX 1050 2GB (13.5” i7) or 1060 6GB (15” i7), graphics bases (detachable keyboard). These now sport the 7th generation i5-7300U, and the i7 gets the 8th generation i7-8650U. The real charges – Microsoft claims 1000+ – are under the Surface. Size is the almost the same although the i5 version has put on 200g and the i7 is 30g lighter!. As a journalist I am happy with 13.5” when travelling and my HP Z34C, 21:9 monitor when I need some serious screen real estate. There is now a highly desirable 15” version – great for artists and designers. Damn Microsoft – if only you had Thunderbolt 3! The differences are subtle between Book 1 and Book 2 Ultimately, I bought an HP EliteBook x360 1030 G2 with USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 instead as GadgetGuy’s production PC. Alas, only a 3.1, Gen 1 port with power and data, not Thunderbolt 3. I nearly bought the Surface Book 2 late last year as it had at long last included a USB-C port.
