Microsoft Surface Book 2 comes with powerful Intel processors and RAM

The Microsoft Surface Book 2 is finally here guys! After almost two years since the release of its predecessor the Surface Book. The all-new Surface Book 2 houses powerful Intel processors, larger display and new graphics cards.

Design

I think Apple’s MacBook and Google’s PixelBook have finally found their match in Microsoft Surface Book 2 design-wise. Although you might not notice any major difference to its predecessor from afar, the Surface Book 2 is more solidly built and comes with a few design upgrades. Most noteworthy should probably be the hinge, which flips the display screen all the way to the back and forth. According to Microsoft, the hinge features ceramics.

Display

Due to popular demand, the Microsoft Surface Book 2 now comes in two different sizes. The regular 13-inch unit and a bigger 15-inch for big screen lovers. The 13-inch has a screen resolution of 3,000 x 2,000 pixels, while the larger 15-inch boasts of 3,240 x 2,160 pixels. You can also detach the display and use it as a tablet if you wish.

Hardware And Software

According to Microsoft, the Surface Book 2 is two times more powerful than the Apple notebook. The 15-inch version offers latest 8th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, while the 13-inch comes with 7th-generation Intel Core i5.

Becoming one of the most powerful laptops instantly, the Microsoft Surface Book 2 uses a more powerful NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics solution with 6GB GDDR5 graphics memory that will let you run highly demanding apps and games more efficiently. You also get up to 16GB of RAM, 1TB storage capacity and runs on Microsoft’s Windows 10 Pro.

Battery

Microsoft promises up to 5 hours of battery life when switched to tablet mode and watching videos and up to 17 hours video playback time.
