Distinctive, well-constructed design, Impressively light as a tablet, Gorgeous screen, Pen input works well, Comfortable keyboard, Fast performance, Best-in-class battery life in laptop mode
Expensive, Even heavier than last year's model, "Fulcrum" hinge makes the laptop appear fatter when shut, Screen wobbles a bit in laptop mode, Slightly top heavy when you use it in your lap
The refreshed Surface Book has very few flaws, with a well-crafted chassis, comfortable keyboard, vibrant screen, fast performance and even longer battery life than on last year's model. As ever, you'll pay dearly for the privilege of owning it, and t...

Fan noise under load, No way to buy the base standalone
Powerful discrete graphics in a 13-inch machine, Unique detachable design, Stylus support with 1,024 levels of sensitivity, Solid battery life, Vibrant display
Expensive, No USB Type-C port, Doesn't have the most recent generation of CPUs or GPUs

Super-long battery life, Best graphics performance in a 13-inch convertible, Beautiful screen and good pen support
Very expensive, Heavy for a 13-inch ultrabook convertible, No Thunderbolt 3.0 nor USB 10Gbps
When Microsoft announced details of the Surface Book i7, I was pretty disappointed in its middle-aged hardware. In use, however, it appears there's plenty of life left in these parts. That the Surface Book i7 can actually give you better graphics p...

It's a lean performance hybrid with an awesome keyboard. The sharp touchscreen has a sweet aspect ratio for hardcore docjockeying. Laptop mode offers the graphics performance of a decent gaming laptop. It does hybrid right
Battery life is solid, but falls short of the 16 hours claimed. Sometimes you will forget where the power button is. It's expensive, but you're essentially getting two computers in one

GPU not quite desktop-VR-ready, Expensive, Performance Base not sold separately, No Thunderbolt 3
NOW READ: Microsoft's Surface Studio is a stunning AIOSadly, while existing Surface Book owners could dock their screen into the new Performance Base and get all the benefits of the new GPU, Microsoft won't be selling the keyboard section separately. Even...
