@TheDavid I think you're mixing up TB3 with USB C. Having USB C enables all the thing you mentioned. USB C port with TB3 supports enables eGPU support or other higher bandwidth use cases, which is overkill for most people.
i dont use thunderbolt 3. I owned a lenovo yoga 920 star wars edition before. Sold it off and got the SB2 15", never missed the thunderbolts ports on the yoga.
Cheetah I just picked up a GTX 1050 13.5” Book 2 for ~$1100. I wanted to wait for the Book 3, but I can’t imagine the dedicated GPU model being any less than $2000.
Omkar Vinchure personally do not have much experience with MacBooks. However, the surface book has only had speed issues when running a couple editing programs at a time. (Also MacBook users are jealous of my laptop lol)
Omkar Vinchure I own the 15” model and I have not regret this decision at all mainly cuz I got on sale for around $1950 dollars(256gb ver). The only issue that I had was the keyboard not being responsive unless reboot happened twice only a couple weeks in but it’s gone now bought it since January 2019. And compared to the MacBook Pro 2017 the SB 2 is waay better. my MBP’s screen keeps flickering every now and then and don’t get me started with the glitchy keyboard. So imo the SB 2 is a way better choice if you’re not tied to macOS.
Jham Entertainment ikr! My friend who was owns a MacBook Air said to me if you’re spending $2k on a laptop why not buy a MacBook? And Boy! I DESTROYED her by comparing the MacBook Pro’s price/spec/performance/features to my SB 2 needless to say she didn’t say a word and we didn’t talk to each other for the rest of the week. 😭😂
Mistic Lol 😆 I guess you should patch up quickly though. Jokes apart, I honestly am not able to decide between SL2 and SB2. SL2 is portable. SB2 has this big gap when we close the screen. But SB2 has power and works as a tab. I don’t know 🤷🏽♂️
I thought that had an MX1050? If so then the GPU isn’t in the screen, it’s in the lower part. The CPU is behind the screen so when it’s detached it uses the integrated graphics on the chip.
Unlock the taskbar, create a new toolbar, drag the toolbar from right corner to the left far corner and hide the toolbar by right clicking it and disselecting show title and show text
Nice video and lovely B-roll, but I really wish more tech reviewers talked about actually using the product in tablet mode. Tbh I find using it without the keyboard an extremely buggy, uncomfortable mess, Windows just isn’t well optimised for tablets at all. Just doing simple tasking like browsing chrome, or watching TH-cam is painful without well optimised apps.
My Book 1 doesn't even detach properly anymore. If used for an hour and I try to detach it, a prompt comes up asking me to turn off something called LockApp and bunch of other programs can't really vouch for the tablet mode.

Why does nobody talk about how the first Surface Book ran a cpu @ 2.4GHz but the Surface Book 2 only runs it at 1.9GHz? So which one is actually better?
I’ve been using this laptop for a year now in college. I use one note to take notes for about 1hr 15 minutes in studio mode, and I lose about 40% of battery (no other apps are open). Any tips?
There is a version with GTX 1060 ! I've used it for almost 2 years now, surely expensive, but best laptop I've ever had. Furthermore it's amazing for sketching.
I wish they would do (for the 2019 refresh) six core i7 on the 15" version with a RTX 2060. A mini fan inside the display to help with cooling the CPU. Two USB-C (both thunderbolt 3 and power) on the left side of the base and SD card reader and 2 standard USB +HDMI on the right. With all this, it will be one of the best laptops we have ever seen... And if there is any company to do it then it's Microsoft
If they did do that it'd probably be Mini-HDMI which sucks imo. A laptop of this size I'd personally like to see an ethernet port for, but seeing as you could theoretically just get an ethernet to USB-C adapter, even better if they add TB3, I can forgive it.
Here are what I like this laptop: 1 it really has a unique design. The detachable philosophy behind it is impressive considering it is the first to design and present it to the market. 2 it has gorgeous premium and futuristic material, magnesium that is also expensive, and the silver appearance gives it a premium looking and feeling. 3 it adopts advanced design idea, the fan and the CPU are behind the display, which makes it a detachable pad when separated from the keyboard. 4 it has varied and versatile functionality for allowing us to use sophisticated pen drawing on it taking notes painting highlighting notes and so on. However, I also have some concerns that needed to be shown here. 1 I do not like fan seriously. I seriously wish they can present an advanced version with less power consuming capability rendering me a quieter space. 2 this is not about the machine. I wish Microsoft can develop a simplified operating system version to make the system less heavier, which means opening time is faster, battery consuming is less, application running is faster with less power consumption. 3 I wish it can be lighter and thinner than it is now by choosing integrated graphic card than discrete card. 4 make the battery larger and longer, I need this, we need this feature.
I have the surface book first gen i5 256ssd 8gb ram 940m dgpu! I am able to edit VIDEO play game (FIFA 19 ) and even make beats as a music Producer! I am using the surface dock and i have 1tb external ssd wd to store my data!
I just bought one and love this 13" laptop. I pop the screen off all the time and the battery life is surprisingly good on the tablet. I use it for games also but not worried about the bars on top and bottom (I also plug into surface dock and my 1080p screen which is perfect resolution for this machine to handle)... and having the gtx 1050 in this small package is awesome! I haven't seen another laptop this small with these dedicated graphics. For games I plug it in and keep my battery settings on the middle settings and then the fans don't kick up as loud as the high setting and I didn't see much loss of fps. It also charges the battery with no problems while you are playing games so no need to worry about always needing to have a full battery before starting to have a long gaming session. I got mine on Swappa as a "used" laptop for half the price and all I can say is minus having the box opening experience, the machine was like new with a few battery charges on it. If your on a budget and don't care to take a little time to find it, the Swappa website was a very good deal.
i have the 13in with dGPU... I reallly enjoy it but it 2 big faults to me: 1) The screen is very fragile, due to the clawshell design the upper part of the glass screen hits the aluminium body concentrating all impact close to the camera, my broke twice with just an normal close (using rubber protector now. 2) the hinge only open around 75degrees , not enough for all situations forcing to use the detach function in situations that i would prefer not (laying in the bad with laptop in your legs). Anyone with the same issues??
I also thought Maybe my Screen will break while Closing but luckily the Magnets are not so strong like on other models where it gets slammed to the Keyboard part also you could look for a slight bend on your device that could be the cause because I found out that the screen isn't even touching the Keyboard .. but I'm only using the Book 2 for 5 month now
ICS Design it won’t..first it is not target for gamer...second...its also a tablet so it need touch support...and i don’t see any 13inch or 15inch satisfying both except apple...but they won’t sale it to ms...so no hope....

@@UkaGames I bought a 2nd hand SB1 early last year and then it was already a year old. Sold it 2 months ago to get a SB2. The SB1 never failed on me. But I have had surface devices since the 1st Surface Pro (SP1,SP3, SB1, Surface Go, SB2) - i only ever had to return the original SP1 to MS, but their support is great. Courier picks it up, 2 days later I had a new unit delivered. It's not shitty support like Apple where you have to pay additional for extra years (Applecare) then when you have an issue have to wait weeks to get to a Genius bar apointment (at least in Amsterdam, its always crowded) deliver your Macbook then wait 2-3 weeks to pick it up.

I have surface book 2 13 inch 1tb ssd with gpu, the problems are: overheats if gaming, I fear damaging the device so I don't. The charger sometimes don't work in both sides. You can't install Linux on it. You cannot use the USB c if using charger on the only direction it works...
I suffered so much with this computer... issues with overheating, with the screen not able to be unlocked, conflict with my Wacom, graphic card failing, no getting started... was a nightmare. My colleague had the same issues...I wished so much it was good...but it was not...
Mike Sutherland your response just makes no sense. I was going to reply to it but what can I say to someone assuming things like you that you may understand? probably not much, have a good day,;)
BIGGEST PROBLEM: A "Bluetooth" keyboard that cannot be used while DETACHED. Too funny. Micro$oft GET THIS FIXED ASAP. Please. There're many occasions I'd like to type AWAY from the screen (and I'm definitely not the only one). The technology is already "baked-in" for crying out loud. Keep my thread up if you agree!
Uh, wouldn't the Asus Mothership technically be the fastest 2-in-1 laptop? Not that I'm suggesting anyone get that behemoth instead of a Surface Book...
Don't buy the i5 model with out the performance base. It literally can't run google chrome without using half of its resources. I put a fresh install of windows on it to see if it was perhaps something else causing the issues......nope.... I've had it for a year and it's been nothing but disappointment for me. I'm just going to take the loss and sell it for what I can and purchase something else.
overrated laptop/brand. High priced for no real reason. The volume key is at a awkward position. It has too many problems with the graphic when I had it, the charger stopped charging after 3 months use. I got rid of it and went with Lenovo flex for a cheaper price
@@tobiasb99 Display light leaks, blurred keypad illumination, bad balance, it can not be held on your lap, you can not open it with one hand. waving screen, WIFI problem when connected monitor and closed lid - bad antenna design and magnet disturbs WIFI work, slow SSD.
@@blegys Maybe you have a router on your desk. Maybe you have a different leg construction than a human? Maybe you have amazing strong fingers, if you can open it with one hand. Maybe.
Exactly, 90% of the users out there do not need the laptop to be on their lap when using. Wifi issues could have been your service provider issues. Opening with one hand is not impossible, even if it's impossible it's just nit-picking. SSD for mine is excellent.
Put a fan in the screen, upgrade to RTX 2060, profit. Surface Book 3 has me very excited!

I have surface book 2 13 inch 1tb ssd with gpu, the problems are: overheats if gaming, I fear damaging the device so I don't. The charger sometimes don't work in both sides. You can't install Linux on it. You cannot use the USB c if using charger on the only direction it works...
my god he is recording off the screen or what ... i have used for more than a year...keyboard does flex... not a good homework for a review
"My only problem is the screen wobble" are you serious what do you expect? Not watching the rest
I suffered so much with this computer... issues with overheating, with the screen not able to be unlocked, conflict with my Wacom, graphic card failing, no getting started... was a nightmare. My colleague had the same issues...I wished so much it was good...but it was not...
It sounds like you suffer in life. No one else has had any problems with these machines, just you.
Mike Sutherland your response just makes no sense. I was going to reply to it but what can I say to someone assuming things like you that you may understand? probably not much, have a good day,;)
For real so sad I am through the same issue and this is my second replacement. I regretted buying this pos.
Its way better value for money rhan any macbook
Bro this is the surface book 1, the 2 is the 15 inch version.
The SB2 comes in 2 sizes: 15" and 13.5"
Too expensive. I prefer to buy a cheaper one with similar functionality, such as a premium laptop from lenovo or HP.
"similar" functionality. The other ones are cheaper because they don't have a GPU, or detachable screen, or 4k display, or pen support, etc...
BIGGEST PROBLEM: A "Bluetooth" keyboard that cannot be used while DETACHED. Too funny. Micro$oft GET THIS FIXED ASAP. Please. There're many occasions I'd like to type AWAY from the screen (and I'm definitely not the only one). The technology is already "baked-in" for crying out loud. Keep my thread up if you agree!
vhtriyok when would you wanna do that?
It's not a bluetooth keyboard. The only thing that needs to be fixed is your grammar
@@blegys your channel is beyond useless.. suggestion: wipe it out. NO BODY CARES. No one ever will. Just a waste of space. DO IT NOW!

Uh, wouldn't the Asus Mothership technically be the fastest 2-in-1 laptop? Not that I'm suggesting anyone get that behemoth instead of a Surface Book...
Don't buy the i5 model with out the performance base. It literally can't run google chrome without using half of its resources. I put a fresh install of windows on it to see if it was perhaps something else causing the issues......nope....
I've had it for a year and it's been nothing but disappointment for me.
I'm just going to take the loss and sell it for what I can and purchase something else.
overrated laptop/brand. High priced for no real reason. The volume key is at a awkward position. It has too many problems with the graphic when I had it, the charger stopped charging after 3 months use. I got rid of it and went with Lenovo flex for a cheaper price
I have Surface Book 1 My worst laptop ever.
Why?
@@tobiasb99 Display light leaks, blurred keypad illumination, bad balance, it can not be held on your lap, you can not open it with one hand. waving screen, WIFI problem when connected monitor and closed lid - bad antenna design and magnet disturbs WIFI work, slow SSD.
I have both the surface book 1 and 2. I do not have any of the problems that was mentioned above
@@blegys Maybe you have a router on your desk. Maybe you have a different leg construction than a human? Maybe you have amazing strong fingers, if you can open it with one hand. Maybe.
Exactly, 90% of the users out there do not need the laptop to be on their lap when using. Wifi issues could have been your service provider issues. Opening with one hand is not impossible, even if it's impossible it's just nit-picking. SSD for mine is excellent.
