When Microsoft launched the Surface Book last year it was a much praised instant hit. This was Microsoft’s first attempt at a ‘real’ laptop, albeit a convertible, and there is no doubt they did a great job.
Despite it’s success, the Surface Book has had a few hiccups, so fans are eager for news of a supposed Surface Book 2
Rumors are rife right now that a new iteration will be released early 2017 along with, wait for it, a Surface Phone and an All In One Surface PC.
Lets hope they can deliver. Because we are waiting with bated breath.
Microsoft released its Surface Book 2-in-1 in October 2015, calling it the “ultimate laptop.” It shipped jam-packed with a detachable screen, Surface Pen support, Intel “Skylake” dual-core processors and Windows 10 Professional. That’s on the low-end configuration. Shell out an extra 200 bucks (£300, AU$600) over the $1,499 (£1,299, AU$1,899) asking price and Microsoft will throw in an Nvidia-based discrete GPU.
Despite an appetizing list of hardware specs, the 2-in-1 didn’t arrive without a few hiccups. There were some complaints surrounding the “Dynamic Fulcrum Hinge” including a gap that’s formed when the laptop is closed. The Clipboard tablet portion of the device has a low battery life, and the pricing is rather steep on the higher end.
So, you can tell that we’re not the only ones already clamoring for Microsoft to improve on an already promising formula. Enter the (would-be) Surface Book 2, a device so highly anticipated that some people are already fabricating leaks just to egg Microsoft on.
