Now Microsoft has brought a new version of the initiative to improve them.
Let's see what's going on in the new Surface chest.

Design
Laptop-tablet hybrid device body made of aluminum alloy. There is absolutely no movement in display due to the use of stronger Hinge than the previous model. The system has been made easier to separate from the display keyboard.
From the other side, this is no different than the previous model. The number of ports in the new model has been increased. In addition to the mini-display port, type C port has been added to USB 3.1 port. Thunderbolt 3 is not supported though.
Aluminum design, Fulcrum Hinges and huge touchscreen surfaces have made the book totally different than all other computers.
Display
Fours and two, in between the two resolutions, the IPS LCD display is remarkable. There is no shortage of luminosity, color balance, contrast, nothing.
Due to the possible combination of the display and the touch panel, the section of the tab is very thin, allowing it to be hand-drawn or painted with a pen, more smoothly.
Performance
The latest Intel Core series has brought the laptop version to the 4 core. The performance of the additional two core computers has taken extraordinary stages.
Video editing, starting from image editing, programming or running a virtual machine, processor is enough for everything.
Although the processor is good, the lack of RAM will reduce its maximum power. Although 16 GB of RAM is enough for game play and general use, not enough for video editing and professional photo editing.
And it can not be used more than the Surface chest. So, when the device is made for media professionals, the lack of RAM is surprising.
On the other hand, the NVME SSD is capable of working very fast. Lacks, file copies delayed or video editing, buffering is empty - nothing will happen.
Gaming
Surface Book will have a high powered version of Gtx 1050 GPU. Medium-based graphics chips can play all the games nicely at this time.
Although the device was not created solely for gaming. However, the bad aspect is that only GPU can be used on keyboard dock. And if the game plays intensely, the device may be overheated.
Battery life
Battery life was the biggest limitation of the first Surface Book. A bigger battery has been added between the display and keyboard dock.
With the same energy saving hardware, battery life can be easily removed 12 hours. Pressure on gypu can be slightly reduced. However, it can be assumed that at least one day the device can be used without charger.
Other
To make the most of it, the Surface Pen and Surface Dial will be purchased. There is no jury for Surface Pen to write and write fluently on huge canvas.
And in some cases, such as changing the color shade or surfing the dial for video scrubbing is unique.
The end
Surface Book 2 has overcome almost all the problems of the previous model. Performance, display, quality, design - the device is unique in all aspects.
Regarding the deficit - Thunderbolt 3 does not have any way to add more powerful GPUs and faster SSD in the future. As a result, the use of the purchased device at a very high price will end very quickly.
