As a matter of fact, teardown masters at iFixIt gave the Surface Book 2 a lowly score of just 1 / 10 in their reparability scale. That said, a trade-off of the laptop’s unibody construction is that you cannot pry it open to upgrade the innards. Correspondingly, there’s absolutely zero flex in and around the laptop’s base or even the display for that matter. Speaking of which, the machine has been constructed in entirety using magnesium which feels pleasing to the eye and to the touch. It’s not the heaviest or even the slimmest in the market but the laptop’s unparalleled build quality and its stunning design more than make up for it.
It’s unlike any other Windows machine I’ve laid my sights on and the laptop features a distinctive look which is top-drawer, to say the least. Quite frankly, I’m so enamoured by the machine’s design that I could run out of adjectives complimenting the Book 2’s aesthetics. The company nailed the design with its first-gen model and consequently, the Surface Book 2 is a thing of beauty. If gaming is your main thing, however, we have a running list of excellent gaming laptops under $999 you should consult.Microsoft’s latest entrant doesn’t do a whole lot to differentiate itself from its predecessor and for good reason. But if you're after a 13-inch laptop with power typically reserved for machines 15-inches and up, or if you're a fan of the OG Surface Book or its successor and have specific need for the extra power offered here, the Surface Book 3 is a delight.
Still, as good as a laptop as it is, it's prohibitively expensive for those of you who are simply looking for a laptop to send emails, create spreadsheets and watch Netflix on. And, least sexy but perhaps most important, it's an excellent clamshell laptop, with a particularly comfortable keyboard and a beautiful display.
It provides welcomeĪnd video processing power that's unusual for a laptop of this size. A detachable screen makes it both a laptop and a tablet, particularly helpful for creatives when paired with the Surface Pen (which disappointingly isn't included, it's an extra $99). But though it asks a lot from you, it gives a lot too.
