Despite these slight niggles, there's no denying the Microsoft Surface Book 2 has unique appeal. It's a laptop that can be a tablet, a graphics pad and notepad, a workstation, portable workhorse and games console all in one compact package, and there's no...

The new Surface Book 2 adds a long list of worthy upgrades, from new CPUs and gamer-ready graphics cards to a bigger 15-inch version. Battery life and performance are both excellent
The two-in-one design still feels awkward at times, and for some users, the detachable screen may be superfluous. The most interesting new components are only available in very expensive configurations
The Surface Book 2 is a satisfying sequel, but like many sequels, it may be trying to broadly serve too many audiences...
Abstract: Sign up for our daily newsletter Image 1 of 12 Microsoft has released the new Surface Book 2 in the UK today but IT Pro managed to get a peek at it two weeks ago at Microsoft's Future Decoded conference in London. We looked at Microsoft's latest additio...
Great keyboard and touchpad, Versatile, and light when used as a tablet, Sharp, high-contrast, pixel-dense touchscreen, Excellent performance in all areas, Unparalleled battery life
Display's color accuracy could be better, GTX 1060 held back by custom driver, Extremely expensive
Yes. There's a lot to love about the Book 2, and very little to complain about. The system aced many of our tests and was a joy to carry day-to-day. That latter part is important. While it's a powerful 2-in-1 built for serious work, but it's also fun off...
It has the same lengthening hinge as the original Surface Book this means it can remain lightweight and doesn't require extra weight in the base to stop it tipping over, as it's already balanced, The screen can be removed from the keyboard so it can be us
It's very expensive, Display suffers from fingerprint marks and some glare in bright light, No longer comes with the Surface Pen stylus as standard you may need to purchase this as an optional extra
The Microsoft Surface Book 2 provides pretty much all you could want from a laptop, with good looks, handy features and plenty of power, but it comes at a rather hefty price...

Great muscle-wire release system to separate laptop and screen into two parts for versatile use, Oodles on power on tap, Solid design
It's rather heavy, Big price tag, Combined battery life is less than quoted, A little top-heavy and upright, Screen lacks ultra-wide colour gamut
While we had the chance to manipulate some 3D models and enjoy the fluidity of the Surface Pen on these devices, we can't profess to have really had the chance to test their power or performance, or to have a good measure of the battery life. We don't dou...

The Surface Book 2, like its predecessor, is an impressive machine both inside and out (although we're still not sold on that reptilian hinge design). Its screen is a little sharper than the MacBook's, and the extra flexibility offered by the hybrid desig...

Current, powerful parts, Very thin and light, Gorgeous, responsive display
Awfully expensive, No Thunderbolt 3
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 n...
Abstract: The Microsoft Surface Book 2 aspires to repeat the original Surface Book's history, blowing users away – only more so, with performance it claims to be five times greater than what the original 2015 model achieved. We got a close look at the new hardware...

Overall, the Microsoft Surface Book 2 is a good option for someone looking for a 2-in-1 device. The specs aren't fantastic, but the device excels in drawing & art tasks, although the Surface Pen is unfortunately sold separately. Still, if you enjoy drawin...
