- Here's a video on my Surface Book 2 and Surface Pen experience, coming from a guy who uses both devices as they're intended to be used―which is for literally everything.
I didn't want to call this video a "review" because I'm not really following any rules in terms of how a proper review actually goes both content-wise and organization-wise, but this video is SORT OF like a review. Mini-review? Whatever. In any case, I just hope you find this video helpful! :)

9/13/2018 Note to Viewers:
Throughout the entire video, I'm assuming you already know about the prices of Surface Book 2 configurations, the price of the 2017 Surface Pen, and basic information about the first-generation Surface Book from 2015. Also, I'm assuming that you're watching this video because you want to know a little bit more about the Surface Book 2 and the pen experience while you wait for your unit to arrive or before buying a Surface Book 2 yourself (or something of the sort). If you're not here with that kind of mindset, this video probably isn't for you―even if you're only watching this video for your entertainment. You might get bored; it's literally all just me talking about why the Surface Pen + SB2 combo is pretty rad.
Best video of the Surface Book! You made it look cool!😎
Gudddd shiet my man👍🏻 Love the review!
Thanks for sharing this video and your thoughts, impressions
Helpful contents, keep it up !
Outstanding quality video
6:28 Is the hinch stiff enough that you can actually draw on this thing like that? How is it compared to the Surface Pro?
love your videos!
Thank you! :D
I'm glad you like my content!
How is the palm rejection? Specifically on OneNote. I returned my Dell Inspiron 2 in 1 because the palm rejection was nonexistent.
great video! subscribed. very well produced but i think the second half of the video was a little repetitive on things you've already went through (e.g. awkwardness) and your positive thoughts in general. hope the next one will be a little more concise :)
Hello! Thank you so much for your helpful feedback!
I totally agree with you about how the second half of the video had a lot of repetitive information. I just took some notes about your feedback, and now I think I've got a better way of reviewing my content more effectively for unnecessary information that can be removed. Hopefully some improvement in my content creation skills will show in my upcoming video! :D
What do you do with screen glare issues from the glossy screen ? I got a paper feel screen protector but my surface pen tip wears off very quickly :(
quality content
I'm glad you enjoyed my video!
How is the Latency of New Surface Pro Pen, is it as good as Apple Pen even fist generation?
I had Surface Pro 4, the Pen did not give me the feeling of writing on a paper while taking a note or writing on a PDF file.
Yea the pen is cool in all but what I wanna know is where did you buy that sweater need it, NOW!! 😩
two questions
1. can you lock the screen so it doesnt flip when u turn it? like you can on iphone
2. can you have two windows open for example watching a video while taking notes? if you adjust the window size
blue berry Yes and yes
You can have 4 windows open if you want. This is "Windows" after all!😉
which software do you suggest for a kid who is starting to draw
4k60fps content nice :)
You know it! 😎
@@EJYu I do know it ;)
Just a question:
Have you had any palm rejection problems? i.e. does the pen work when your palm is resting on the screen?
For ya'll trying to find out, I got one myself and tested it. I got no palm rejection issues at all with the new pen. Writing on the surface was a good experience (second to writing on paper). This is now my replacement notebook and finally a new laptop to do work outside of home.
Thanks 👌
@@acer8123 does the palm rejection turns on automatically when you use the pen? or do you need to toggle the switch for it somewhere in the settings ?
@@minami_uuu I didn't even know there was a switch. From my experience using it to take notes, it automatically rejects palm inputs when the pen is detected hovering and/or touching the screen.
@@acer8123 ooh I see ~ thank you so much for your response :D I'm looking for a new laptop and I'm considering to buy SB2 and surface pen
Can I use this pen on my HP envy x360 13" (2019) ? Please help!
Do you find that the tip bounces?
Is palm rejection working fine?
Hi is this the model 1776
What backpack are you wearing while sitting on the rocks?
Hey! Great question!
The backpack I'm using in this video is the Kensington LM150. It's for 15" laptops and 10" tablets.
I regularly use this backpack, so if you have any specific questions about this backpack, I think I can answer them in great detail.
Thanks for watching! :D
which Photoshop you are using???
HELP please. I would be able to buy surface book 2 i7 really cheap but with 8gb of ram. Is it enough?! i edit large raw files on photoshop+use chrome and sometimes illustrator at the same time
I don't think it is mate. 16gb is the recommended for things like that. The RAW files could be a problem.
Good video
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed my video! :D
Is it included with sb2?
nuovovideo nope. Sold separately 🙂
I SEE THAT FURRY ART OWO
Nice quality video, but it feels too much like a sponsored content. Maybe be a bit more critical about the pen and what is lacking if you know what i mean. Besides that, i have the SB2 with the pen and love it. But it is not perfect
What are the cons?
People People , it is not yet fully integrated into illustrator and photoshop. The tilt control for example is not recognized in illustrator, the eraser as well, there is workaround but I would like to have it working out of the box.
@@sebastienjurkowski if you're paying over 100 dollars for it, I think them features should be there in the first place
People People , it should be fully supported yes. The tilt works on native app but not illustrator (yet) natively
Hey! Thanks for the comment! You make some really good observations in the conversation you had with this other TH-camr. And also, thank you a ton for the feedback; I've taken notes on what you said and I'll be sure to qualify the content in my future tech videos better.
I just wanted to put here that this video isn't sponsored. In fact, none of my videos are sponsored. I always buy my own tech, and if I feel like making videos on them, then I do that if I feel like it. 😂 Thanks for understanding!
I just wanted to contribute to the conversation that came up here. Actually, Surface accessories are indeed integrated into Illustrator and Photoshop (as I've come to notice through my use), BUT Surface-specific tools (unless it's the Surface Dial in Photoshop) are NOT enabled by default. These preferences and settings can be tweaked in these programs' brush settings and hardware preferences panels. And the support for Surface accessories is much better on Adobe CC 2019. Not so much on 2018, really.
But regardless of these features being there, you absolutely are right: Surface Pen integration across other Windows applications are not fully established yet, and it's quite annoying. I love my SB2 and the Surface Pen I use with it, but the experience would be so much better if Windows 10 was a more fully-developed OS and if developing for Surface accessories were much more easily accessible by third-party developers that don't build apps in the Universal Windows Platform.
Thank you again for the comment, and thank you for watching!! :D
WHAT IS THE NAME OF NOTES APP?
Never mind ... it is Microsoft OneNote but in the quicknotes
i want to see some game tests here... you know like, Gta 5, Call of Duty MW etc.
I've got a full detailed review of the 15-inch Surface Book 2 coming later this year. I'll definitely be covering gaming performance in my review. :)
7:13 😳
Take the microphone away from your mouth a bit, I can hear all the mouth noises.... :S However, I found the review very helpful.
Please don’t buy any surface products, software has many issues, they update it regularly, whenever new updates comes the system fails in many other hardware things...for me in last update and the keyboard and mouse stopped working...customer service is worst. Doesn’t worth the money we pay to those people!!
TAIWAN
BUT WHY DOSE IT ONLY HAVE 1 BARREL BUTTON AAHHGG SJKFHKSJHFKJSH
it was such an obvious choice whyyy they have to do thiiss its soo stupid i NEED THAT EXTRA FUCKING BUTTON OMG
actually if there was a pen with three of them id jump at it no matter what cause then I could have ctrl alt and shift all just in the pen
I still think apple is better :c
i was thinking about buying an apple device (an ipad pro with the apple pencil) but i'm still hesitant , given that all my other devices work on windows or android , i'm worried about having troubles synchronizing everything , do you think this would be an issue ?
@@romaissakolli121 yea you you would have to rely on nothing but cloud transfers
Romaissa K yes for sure. On iPads you can only get apps, but on a Microsoft you can get programs which is way better and what you’ll want.
@@romaissakolli121 Yes, i have a Macbook Pro 2019 as well as an Ipad Pro 12.9 2019, i have been looking for a solution to sync and have my emails on both devices but still no way as i have POP3 service not IMAP.
I still do not know if there is any IOS app which can read .OLM or MBOX. Damn apple but i cannot stop working with it.
