Bought it yesterday; it’s fantastic! Totally kicks Macbook out of the rink.

This might be the one to get this year.

This laptop looks unique, feels substantial, has amazing trackpad, screen, design, materials, keyboard, good ports, and its a two in one, with amazing specs that can do 1080p game and handle anything else.

Fucking baller.

[akshat]

Its like a MacBook Pro except that it can game. Damn - good stuff

[timayers]

Fantastic review! Very informative, and to the point (which is greatly appreciated). Too many tech reviews big the videos down with information that doesn’t even pertain to the review. Thank you for taking the time to make such a professional review!

The i5 is NOT the same chip as in the old Surface Book. The old Surface Book had 6th generation chips and none were fanless except the M3. The move to fanless is awesome.

Great review. I really prefer a smaller device so it's Surface Pro for me.

I sold a mac mini and a surface pro 4 to get this. I love it.

If you're a student, or an architect, or in science, or in This laptop and I were designed for each other. :)

Almost a year has passed and this thing is still expensive as hell.
I would love to upgrade my surface pro to the 15" SB2 for the screen estate for multi-tasking, but with its current price, it's still really hard to justify especially when I don't really need the extra performance, simply the large screen.

If only Microsoft releases a 15" SB with an 8th gen core i5, iGPU at a significantly cheaper price and much longer battery, that would be my dream device.

Thank you Daniel!! You've done the Best Surface Book reviews!

[MattAero]

Great review! I’m trying to decide between 13 or 15 and your 2 reviews help a lot 👌🏽

Everything is perfect except 1 tiny thing which really pisses me off. The audio jack positioning

Time to buy a new laptop...I'm bored of my MacBook Air

[lalakuma]

No fan on the tablet part? That's great news! I just just bought a Surface Book 2 from eBay to replace my Surface Pro 3, because my SP3 cooling fan is probably coming loose and making very concerning metallic, grinding noises. Crossing my fingers that my SP3 doesn't fall apart before the SB2 arrives.

Great video
I wish you would've gone a bit deeper on the gaming capabilities of this particular model

[SethiestSeth]

I wish there was a core i5 variant with LTE

[Charkatak]

Thanks! It is good that you brought up the light bleed...don't know if you still have this surface book 2 laying around. Would be good if you could make a video to show how bad or not that bad light bleed is. I do have a brand new SB2 in the box, but don't want to open it because of light bleed issue which my gen 1 SB experienced.

8:46 He talked about it having Coil Whine (That irritating buzzing sound from the wires as the power passes through) at High Performance its not too audible.

Could you please say does the camera modules are exactly same in Surface Book 2 and in Surface Pro 4? Are they vary in diaphragm and light speed values? Which model has the maximal quality of images? Thank you!

[castro]

would you recommend surface pro or book 2? for light video editing?
