The editors didn't like
Configurations with the optional Nvidia GPU and more storage get very expensive. There are some first-generation quirks
Including an awkward gap between the screen and base when closed
It's also slightly thicker and heavier than last year's version
And retains the odd gap on the folding hinge. Expensive compared to other options. Doesn't meet minimum specs for VR gaming
Pricey
Angular shape when closed
Battery life falls well below promises
Major updates are still in tow
Some minor software glitches
Screen invites fingerprints
Placement of power and volume buttons is not good for a notebook
Weight distribution could be optimised further
Slightly buggy
Higher end configurations get expensive
Short battery life as a tablet
Thick in comparison to some of the computers it competes against
Hinge is a little odd
And thick enough to elicit a feeling that the Surface Book comes from 2010

Abstract: Microsoft's most direct shot at the MacBook yetThe one Surface product that fans have been clamoring over for years, a straight up Surface Laptop, is finally here. But, in taking design cues from both the Surface Pro and Surface Book lines, Microsoft h...
Impeccable materials and build quality, PixelSense display, Alcantara covered keyboard, Windows Hello face sign-in, Omnisonic speakers with Dolby Audio
Windows 10 S, Budget SSD, Only one USB port, No SD card reader
Microsoft's attempt at a traditional clamshell laptop leaves us a little conflicted. The look, feel, and usability of the Surface Laptop is outstanding. The Alcantara-covered keyboard is unique and a pleasant surface (literally) to rest your palms on for...
Microsoft's Surface Laptop is actually a lot better than I expected it to be. Yes, the selection of ports bothers me greatly, although you won't mind if you're already invested in Surface accessories, but the Laptop is just a really pleasant device to use...

Abstract: Microsoft calls this device the ultimate laptop and I've been using it as my daily driver for close to a month now since it landed on my doorstep on October 26th. But is it the ultimate laptop? Should you spend your hard earned money on this device? Let's...
Stunning screen, Improves upon epic battery life of original, Powerful and light as a big-screen tablet
Extremely expensive as configured, Tablet portion has very short battery life, Not exactly light at 3.6 pounds, No USB-C/Thunderbolt ports
Today's top detachable 2-in-1, Microsoft's updated Surface Book is a stunner, packing improved graphics, a Core i7 CPU, and longer battery life. It's great for getting work done, but you'll need to work a bunch to pay for it: It starts at $2,399. Read Mo...

Distinctive, well-constructed design, Impressively light as a tablet, Gorgeous screen, Pen input works well, Comfortable keyboard, Fast performance, Best-in-class battery life in laptop mode
Expensive, Even heavier than last year's model, "Fulcrum" hinge makes the laptop appear fatter when shut, Screen wobbles a bit in laptop mode, Slightly top heavy when you use it in your lap
The refreshed Surface Book has very few flaws, with a well-crafted chassis, comfortable keyboard, vibrant screen, fast performance and even longer battery life than on last year's model. As ever, you'll pay dearly for the privilege of owning it, and t...
