Looks lovely, and you'll feel cool walking around with it but.... High res screen lovely ... except you'll probably want to have a monitor as it is very small for the resolution. Screen hinge ... looks cool but actually is annoying with the limited tilt (approx 100 dgs) Detachable lid ...

I am an Architect student and I hesitated to switch from my MacBook Pro to this but I took the plunge. I've had this for almost two months and so far no complaints. I loved my MacBook Pro, but I really love the functionality of the Surface Book; Perfect for rendering designs/drawings.

As an update to the original, the Surface Book 2 makes some neat nips and tucks - mainly under the skin, with improved power and performance - that add up to make this Microsoft a seriously powerful contender for Apple's MacBook Pro.

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

I purchased this laptop for only $1499 at my local Costco Warehouse and it works amazing!

I purchased the Microsoft Surface Book 2 for my daughter who is starting college this fall. She is constantly on it and loves it.

Microsoft Surface Book 2 review: The Microsoft Surface Book is ideal for those who are creative and want power in the laptop to do what...

I love this product. I especially like that it's a laptop or a tablet. I have had no issues with disconnecting or reconnecting. The display is great and the underlit keyboard is great for when I'm in darker areas. I also love that it has a front and rear facing camera.

While an astonishingly capable and beautiful device, the Surface Book 2 is too much laptop for the average buyer. Microsoft knows it too, hence the availability at under £1,000 of both the Surface Laptop and Surface Pro. But the Surface Book 2 remains its hero product. The industrial design is cumbersome and won’t be to all tastes, but we love its proud bulk and desktop power. The keyboard and display are best in class and the clever integration into the base of a high-end GPU is commendable. It is a touch off perfect because of the power issue at full capacity, a bad backlight on the keyboard and its undeniably cumbersome design. But should be your first choice if you are a creative professional who wants Windows, excellent stylus input and lag-free performance. And hey, even if you don’t need the power, if you have two and a half grand lying around you could always treat yourself to the best Microsoft has to offer.
