I'm kind of sick of the argument that the Surface Book 2 is overpriced. MacBook Pros are similarly expensive, and don't really match the engineering and features the SB2 has. I've owned a MBP 2017, which was a great machine, but it had an inferior keyboard, no touch screen, no SD card reader, no Xbox wireless support (minor but still!), no tablet mode, inferior GPU, no USB A ports, less battery, and in my opinion, a very nice yet boring design. In favour of the Mac, it does have full thunderbolt 3 support - which for me is the only thing I'm disappointed with in the SB2. I think the touch bar was fun for a few days, but then it started to seem stupid to me... I'd rather real function keys and a touchable display, Apple. Honestly, the Surface Book 2 is very nearly the perfect laptop. I've also had a Dell XPS 15 briefly, which is exceptional value for money, but honestly put the XPS beside a SB2, or a MBP, and it will take 1 second to spot the cheaper machine (but its still awesome, don't hate on me, I still think the XPS is unbeatable value!) Premium quality comes at a premium price. Hyundai have some nice affordable cars, but hell if I can afford a Tesla, then I'll buy the Tesla.. f*ck the Hyundai! If MBPs and SB2s were the same price as Dell and Lenovo laptops, then nobody would buy a Dell or Lenovo. Well, maybe Dell and Lenovo employees... But you get the point :-) So I'll say it again - premium quality comes at a premium price. The SB2 cost me a lot of money, but it's the machine I stuck with, after trialing a few. It's the best computer I've ever owned. No regrets so far! (Obviously we can't give the same praise to the SB1, which was plagued with issues - the SB2 runs exceptionally well thankfully. Well done Microsoft!)

Yes, except for international market outside U.S. It can 40% higher in price (U.K., Australia, Asia) even with official region sale and there is barely even support for replacing/warranty, at least not as good as the widely supported MacBooks. The fact that battery replacement is not even possible makes it a onetime investment for many (SP3, Surface Laptop).

Charlie Kilby-Pollard I would not want a touchscreen on my laptop, as the screen would get dirty very quickly, I don't care about a tablet mode, the battery is not really better, and 4 thunderbolt 3 ports are light years better than the IO on this. I own the MCPro 2017 and love USB-C, because it is much more convenient than the IO on my old computer (2009 MCPro). The GPU is better on the Surface, but the processor is less powerful and it doesn't support an external one. In five years, I will still be able to have a top-of-the-line GPU with an external enclosure, but surface owners will be stuck with a GTX 1060 with no way to upgrade it. Also, the MacBook pro is thinner, more elegant, more refined and overall much nicer. The Surface book looks cheap, while the MacBook looks streamlined and modern.

Wow that must be the best built in webcam I've ever seen. It seems like FBI is becoming more demanding. Next we'll have tri-camera laptops, with telephoto and wide angle lenses so that no details escape those who are wathcing. On a serious note, having "portrait mode video" on laptop webcams would be cool, specially if you need to make a skype videocall but your room is all messy

+Mx Jonson It has a superb webcam because it has a lot more space than the typical laptop thus space for a bigger thicker sensor. Most laptops have very thin lids since most of the components are at the bottom, so very little/thin space for a webcam thus shitty webcams. The surface book top tablet is as thick as most flagship smartphones so it's no surprise it can fit a good sensor.

I considered the SB2 before landing on the HP Spectre 13t. Here is the thing though. I don't begrudge those buying (and spending) to get the best. Whether is it is the SB2, the MBP, or the Pixelbook, if you want the ultimate experience on your platform, go for it. But if you don't game, process video, or rarely use anything other than laptop mode, I might try and talk you out of it just to save you some cash.

Great video. I had the Gen 1 Surface Book and, being an early adopter, had to endure the initial bugginess and growing pains. Through the almost 2 years of ownership, I've discovered that I rarely needed to separate the screen and finding apps that allow for the use of the pen was more problematic than just pulling out a piece of paper and writing. The thing with MS is that they promise the world and only half of it works. I've found that with Windows, the Band (discontinued), the Invoke (which is extremely limited in what it can do), and their now discontinued Windows Phone platform. All of which I've had and had to abandon. So when the Surface Book 2 came out, I went to the MS Store and wasn't "wowed". The siren call of Apple called me over and while they don't promise the world, they deliver on what they do promise and now my tablet talks to my phone that talks to my watch and all talk to my laptop. Life is good again.

Great video Michael! Just one thing... It would have been useful if you reviewers had pointed out that Microsoft didn't included TB3 for a specific reason. If you want a U-series Intel cpu with a GTX 1060 and an NVME drive, there are no pci express lanes left for Thunderbolt. Too geeky maybe to include in the video, but it always looks like Microsoft designers are forgetting to include something just because they can't be bothered to create the "perfect" machine. Are you planning to keep the SB2?

I think when i upgrade in a year or so this will be my upgrade. perfect ports, amazing battery, amazing screen, amazing build, unique looks, awesome specs, and i can use the detachable screen for presentations or mobile media consumption or drawing graphs/pyramids etc instead of whiteboards. I have an XPS 15 now, which i do love but this seems like the logical next step up. I would be with a 13 inch macbook right now if Apple hadnt fucked up the newest one in 2016. I bought my XPS 15 right after i watched the keynote, because i originally had been waiting two years for the updated macbook and was extremely disappointed.

I tend to use mine in front of my dual monitors flipped over and lowered all the way, the angle makes it really nice for 'drawing' i mark up drawing in the pdf editor and use CAD on the monitors above for my own drawings. The size isn't awkward for me as I never try to use it fully as a 'tablet' more as a drawing pad and therefore would love the 15" size.

Come now, no mention of the chronic disconnection issues due to the flimsy hinge port? I ditched the SB1 13" for a SB2 hoping the hinge redesign might have resolved that, but no. Mere wobble of the hinge will sever the base from the clipboard momentarily. Any software requiring the GPU is subject to crash. Hope you don't need to change the volume or bump the table. This, even after feverishly cleaning the contacts. Great a machine as it is, this is a maddeningly obvious design flaw.

Great review! It was concise and informative. I bought my surface book 2 back in December last year. I got top specs with the 15” model, but I had to get the 500gb storage because the price was already so high. With warranty and student discount it came to $3,000 total, however as an architecture student who is rendering 3D models and multitasking, the professional design and specs in this device make it worth the buy for me. Switching from Mac has not been easy, but having a magnetic charger and no dongles makes the switch worth it to me.

How much it will be to repair the battery when it dies, ect... I know it only came out less than 6 months ago but it's something I worry about because I LOVE the look of this laptop. I know that other peoples worries have been about the coil wire sound and the insides of the machine getting a 1/10 for repairability. (both of which are also mine)

Should I wait until the SB3 will be released (whenever this will be)?

Wish the screen had a hinge like the pros so when u use it as a tablet u can have it stand up. Otherwise the usability of the tablet mode is less useful

It’s good for stream gaming, podcast, and graphic design? I’m just very picky when dropping 1000 bucks lol. And I feel like every time I buy something, the next newer better version comes out a week later

Thanks for the review. I got the Dell XPS15 after my faithful Microsoft Surface Pro 3 died and I didn't see the repair as worth the price. Pretty happy with it.

I was blown away by the front facing camera the quality is pretty good, i could safely say that it is the best camera I've ever seen on a laptop, I still don't understand why expensive laptops have mediocre cameras when phones these days look almost as good as a DSLR.

If I have to change my everyday use laptop .. I would really have to face a big dilemma since the window in these days come out with beauty machines and well execution. I had never imagined to go back to use window platform and machine again since I started to use Mac. Now Im not so sure. The only problem is that I have no idea about how window experience is like these day. I wish I could try.

Sometimes I can't see how MrMobile can give such good quality without monetizing all his videos; I get that Sponsors are a big help, But Michael; I'm pretty sure we'd all be damn happy to sit through an ad if we knew that it helped you out 💀💯

Depends what you're looking for. For me this is perfect. I do a lot of scientific computing in Matlab and Mathematica which not only makes use of the 8 threads but also the CUDA cores. I do a lot of 3D rendering using Redshift which is a GPU renderer which uses.. again CUDA cores. And I'm also an experimental physicist so it's helpful to be able to take the tablet portion into a dark lab and makes notes. Perfect for my use case!
