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.

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.

Microsoft just announced a few brand new products: a pair of powerful new Surface Book 2 devices featuring and graphics, and a Surface Precision Mouse designed to be the perfect companion to the devices.

If someone told us back in 1992, when Windows 3.1 was first released, that Microsoft would become known for its hardware, we would have done a double-take. Yet, with more cash flow than it knows what to do with, the Redmond-based mega-corporation has arguably introduced an entirely new category of...

There's a lot going on with the new Surface Book 2. It's not just a laptop, it's a laptop with the latest 8th-gen Intel Core-series CPUs . You can detach the screen and cart it around as a standalone tablet, or connect it to the keyboard base for extra battery life and graphics power.

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

Microsoft promises a lot with the new Surface Book 2. The 13.5-inch convertible is a really good device in some respects, but we are sometimes wondering why the manufacturer ignores known issues or waives modern standards. Let us begin with the good things.

high-quality case; very good screen without PWM; high performance; despite passive cooling; very long battery runtime; comfortable input devices; decent camera; often silent

very loud GPU fan (depending on the power setting; power adapter not always sufficient; no Thunderbolt 3; Surface Pen not included anymore; considerable throttling (especially CPU) on battery; display bounces during touch inputs; no LTE connectivity; basically impossible to maintain; long charging...
