Fantastic machine. Very pleased with the hardware and performance. One issue though, Microsoft's fault, is there is no printed visual accompanying the laptop showing what each connectors is. As a result, we bought the wrong connector to connect this to an external Monitor.

When it comes to premium laptops that are also 2-in-1 convertibles the Microsoft Surface Book 2 and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga come from different starting points but end up being very similar. Which is better Well, it's not so clear as both have it set of pros and cons.

The Surface Book 2 is an excellent laptop than tries to do a bit too much for its own good. While it excels in a number of areas, it's forced to make a couple of disappointing compromises that stop it from achieving its full potential.

Excellent performance; Superb screen; Great keyboard

Expensive; Surprisingly bulky; Poor battery life

It is hard to improve on perfection. Microsoft's Book design is unique, and given that others have not copied it will probably remain so.

It is unique; for what it is it is nealy perfect

Wish it had Thunderbolt 3

Gorgeous design, everything feels really nice, keyboard is great and touch pad is silky smooth. As a uni student, this laptop has been doing everything I need it to do so far, which involves writing essays, viewing lectures, writing notes and your general googling/youtubing/etc.

Typing at work on Microsoft's new 15-inch Surface Book 2 , I can't shake the feeling that this thing's not for me. Don't get me wrong, it's a powerful laptop, it's beautiful, and the workspace its giant screen affords made me completely forget I wasn't seated at my desk with my usual 34-inch...

Great performance; beautiful display

Big ideas that are more ambitious than useful

Having only owned the Surface Book 2 for a few weeks, I can say I am very impressed. This is an incredibly versatile hybrid. It is good enough for all my day to day computing needs, small and light enough to be transportable and the flexibility to use as a tablet either detached or placed flat...

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

The computing device ecosystem, the stage we are at right now, is not exactly headed in one simple direction. There is demand for ultraportable devices which are convenient to carry around. Some users prefer the hybrid model, which gives the flexibility between a laptop and a tablet.

The Microsoft Surface Book offers a good keyboard and trackpad. It has a premium design with a great display and enough performance chops. However, it is expensive from every imaginable standard.
