— Microsoft Surface (@surface) October 17, 2017 The Surface Book 2 looks pretty much identical to its predecessor but Microsoft claims that they have improvised a great deal on the backlit keyboard and the singular flexible hinge. Connectivity ports include a set of standard USB ports and a USB-C. That apart, Microsoft also claims that the Surface Book 2 offers “five-times” better graphics performance as opposed to its predecessor and claims that it offers double the power of MacBook Pro. While the claims cannot be verified at this point, the Surface Book has always been the most powerful portable offering from the Microsoft’s stable and the Surface Book 2 is no different. Microsoft has equipped the Surface Book 2 with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 with 6GB of memory for the top end variant. The laptop has been designed to handle graphics intensive game like GoW 4 and Forza Motorsport 7 at FHD 60FPS. That apart Microsoft seems to have retained the focus on creators and is thus releasing the laptop with a new version of the Windows 10 Creators update. In a nutshell, the Surface Book 2 is one of the most powerful convertible laptops. The 15-inch touchscreen offers a resolution of 3240 x 2160 and will also support Microsoft’s Mixed Reality endeavors. The Surface Book 2 will be available starting from November 16, and the base price is $1,499.
