With a keyboard that can be detached, the Microsoft Surface Book 2 can also be used as a tablet. This is something that makes it versatile. The display has Microsoft's PixelSense technology and one can either get a 15-inch display or a 13.5 inch one; both come with higher-resolution displays so the graphics are crystal.
To support these displays one either gets an integrated Intel GPU which is good but not as powerful as the NVIDIA option, the latter would give you more of a kick for your display. The CPU comes with a few different options as well, it is either the Intel Core i5 or the i7 and different generations of them as well.
The RAM options are either 8 or 16GB for the 13.5-inch Surface Book 2, and just 16GB for the 15 inch one. It is 1866Mhz LPDDR3, which is high-grade RAM, with a good performance. Storage drives are the PCIe SSDs with their high-speed read and write times one gets an edge there too. The space can vary from 256Gb to 1TB. The OS is Windows 10 Pro Creators Update.
A lot of laptops do not have that many sensors as the usage is more specific to that kind of machine, but as the Surface Book also works like a tablet it features an ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope and a compass as well.
Porting is achieved via the various USBs, a card reader and the headphone/mic audio jack. Unlike laptops, the Surface Book 2 has two cameras, one on the front and the other on the rear. There are front-facing speakers that come with Dolby Audio.
The 15-inch option also has Xbox wireless built into it. Battery times are at 17 hours with playback, which is impressive for a portable device in any form.
Comments
The Microsoft Surace Book 2 is a good device, with a good level of power to portability ratio and is also versatile with the ability to function as a tablet.
The price of either option is high, with the ones that have more powerful components costing a lot more.
