amazon Surface Book 2 reviews
Surface Book 2 does not have much of a change in looks compared to its predecessor, but Microsoft’s upgrades to the machine are worth it. Configuration is stronger and more work thanks to the processor Kaby Lake Refresh – the first CPU line U has 4 cores 8 threads, in addition to the discrete GPC Pascal. There are also many other small changes, such as the locking mechanism of the keyboard, a nicer keyboard, a bigger battery, etc., all aimed at bringing the user experience to the maximum possible with a 2 in 1 computer at the head of the ship.
The design of the Surface Book is exactly the same as the first-generation Surface Book, with solid, solid lines and highlights with Dynamic Fulcrum Hinge hinges – a design inspired by books that make the Surface Book unmatched. Not one of the 2 in 1 in the market.
The material is still a magnesium alloy with a slightly gray color characteristic of this material. The feel of the surface of the Surface Book 2 is still the same, still slightly whiz despite the surface has been treated rough. Personally, I still like this shell because of the magnesium, but the weight of the Surface Book 2 is still light, the total weight of the machine at about 1.6 kg calculated the keyboard dock.
Since the release of Surface Book 2, Microsoft has officially added the 15 “version next to the traditional version 13.5”. The machine I borrowed was still 13.5 “and probably this is the ideal screen size for the Surface Book in general because it is not too big nor too small to use in many different modes, especially is in tablet mode.
The machine is 15 mm thin, in detail the horizontal view can see the separation between the back of the machine, the space for the heat sink and the body. This cooling system has been improved by Microsoft, with more space for hot air to come out faster. Inside there is a thin fan for the Core i7-8650U CPU.
The camera on the Surface Book 2 is similar to the previous generation with an 8 MP AF-assisted camera, 5 MP front camera for video conferencing and selfie shooting when needed.
It is worth noting that the front camera also supports Windows Hello facial login feature with infrared sensor to support night identification.
The 13.5” Surface Book has the same screen size as the previous version with PixelSense, IPS wide viewing angle, resolution of 3000 x 2000 pixels in 3: 2 aspect ratio. The contrast ratio of the screen is very good and the brightness is also higher.A touch screen supports 10 touch points and compatible with accessories such as pen Surface Pen and Surface Dial. Unfortunately, with Surface Book 2, Microsoft does not ship with the Surface Pen that we have to buy for $ 100.
The speakers are well placed on the bezel, and the speaker system supports Dolby Audio Premium and Dolby Atmos technology for headphones via the 3.5 mm jack.
When folded, Surface Book 2 still has a gap between the keyboard and the screen, it’s just enough to separate the two components from scratching the screen as well as the subsidence when folded. One thing I do not like on the Surface Book 2 is Microsoft’s integrated magnet on the top of the machine so that when folded into the keyboard dock, the machine can close but the force is very large while the front square. So it is quite difficult to open the screen, I often have to use two hands and the one-handed opening is almost impossible even if the hinges are smooth enough to keep the balance between the screen and the camera body.
The keyboard and dock connect to each other through the Surface Connect port and are held securely by the holders. To unplug it, simply press a button on the keyboard, the clearing sound disconnects the dock.
