2 Surface Book

Microsoft has recently introduced a new computer, a new laptop. This team aims to be not only the renewal of the Surface Book but also the new rival of the macbook Pro. This team has been baptized with the name of 2 Surface Book.

This new laptop slightly changes the design and color, going to predominate the magnesium gray that characterizes the Surface family teams so much. The hardware is not maintained but has been drastically modified to obtain the most powerful notebook that Microsoft has ever created.

Microsoft's idea with this Surface Book 2 is not just to launch one more laptop but to launch a computer that is optimized for your new update: Windows 10 Falls Creators Update. An update that we will have shortly and that promises many improvements to Windows 10 users.

2 Surface Book

The Microsoft Surface Book 2 hardware is as follows:

  • ProcessorIntel Core i5 3,2GHz or Intel Core i7 4,2 GHz
  • Frame: 8 or 16 Gb
  • GPUi5: HD Graphics 620 or i7: HD 620 + GTX 1050 2GB
  • Internal storage: from 256 Gb of SSD disk.
  • Screen13,5 inches with 3000 x 2000 resolution and 267 dpi
  • Shot put: 1,9 gr.
  • Other functions: USB-C port, card reader, detachable screen, Surface Pen or Surface Dial storage holder.

The price of this equipment is $ 1.499. A very high price that raises the tremendous doubt of whether or not the new Surface Book 2 is worth it. It is true that the hardware is very powerful, but a laptop that costs up to three times more than a conventional one with a weight close to 2 Kg it is unappealing and inexpensive.

On the other hand, the fact that this equipment is suitable for Falls Creators Update indicates that the new version continues to consume more resources than the previous one, making it little by little unsuitable for our computers, a process similar to that which has happened with Windows smartphones. So it seems that the new laptop is not worth much, although if we depend on proprietary software that Windows asks for, this laptop can be an option to be three years without having to change equipment. Y What do you think of this new Surface Book 2? Do you think it is worth the price for the hardware? Would you change your laptop for the Surface Book 2?
