Microsoft has added Surface Book 2 to its PC line-up
Microsoft is calling it “the most powerful Surface Book ever”.
Microsoft has introduced a brand new Surface Book laptop, as the tech giant steps up its fight with Apple and its MacBook line-up.
The Surface Book 2 will come in both a 13.5in and 15in size and again feature the trademark Surface Book detachable screen, with the display also functioning as an independent tablet.
“But people still want more, and creators continue to push the limits of what technology can do. So, we built the laptop of the future for the creators making the future.”
The Surface Book 2 houses eighth generation Intel core processors and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 or 1060 graphics options, which Microsoft says makes it five times more powerful than the original Surface Book and, it claims, twice as powerful as the latest MacBook Pro.
It is also home to a big battery – one capable of up to 17 hours of video playback – or “all-day battery life” when used for other tasks.
Xbox One controllers can also be wirelessly connected for other gaming experiences.
The company’s smart accessories, the Surface Pen and Surface Dial, will also be compatible with the new laptop.
Microsoft is yet to confirm a UK price for the Surface Book 2, but the laptop will start shipping on November 16.
