    Thanks man! I was really looking for such a video since I wanna buy the surface book 2. When released it was one of the greatest 2 in 1's. Thanks for the reassurance!!!

    I'm thinking about getting a surface book 3, but I need a lot of storage size and it gets very expensive. I wanted to get the 15-in model, but I would have to sacrifice for the 13.5 so that I can get a decent Surface Book that I can afford.
    However, I thought about it. What about the 15-inch Surface Book 2? are the specs on the 15-in Surface Book 2 better than the specs on the 13.5-in surface book 3?
    Does anyone know how comparable the *Surface Book 2 15-in* is with the *Surface book 3 13.5 in?*

      @@AndrewKennethColborn Thank you. No one is doing comparisons on the SB2-15 vs. SB3- *13.5.*
      I decided for myself that SB2-15" is better. I could afford larger screen, larger internal storage, better speaker quality.
      However, the cons were slower "tablet eject" (insignificant "con"), and the *15gb* instead of 32gb of RAM, BUT even with less RAM, because I was able to afford the 1 Terabyte storage size instead of 512 gb on the SB3-13.5", I can convert some of the TB to RAM.
      In theory, the SB2-15 seems better than the SB3-13.5 because the better speakers and the faster graphics card and larger screen with insignificant drawbacks and an ability to increase the ram with a higher amount of storage for a cheaper price seems to be the sensible option.

    • @linkzyofficial
      @linkzyofficial 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm and engineering student and the surface book 2 15" maxed out is pretty great. I can design rough drafts with the pen feature and well CAD is working smoothly and I never notice any lag. However if you are trying to game on this that is where u will encounter some issues if you want crazy graphics. I get around 55-63 fps on COD warzone on MED 1080p graphics so its not unplayable but for gaming its not the best for the price. however it is very portable and has a small form factor for the power it packs and aesthetics are great.
