It is at once a difficult task to create a 2-in-1 detachable hybrid that caters at once to both artists and gamers. It appears Microsoft has masterfully succeeded in this endeavor with the Surface Pro 2.
For a hybrid 2-in-1, it all starts with a capable screen. The Surface Book 2 screen comes in a large 15″ size or a smaller 13.5″ display. The 13.5″ display resolution is 3000 x 2000, whereas the 15″ screen increases the resolution to 3240 x 2160. In both cases, the display is razor sharp, and the display quality is paired with high-end specs.
Both Surface Book 2 models can be outfitted with 16GB of RAM, 1TB of storage and blazing fast 8th Gen Intel Core quad-core i7 processors. The Surface Book 2 15″ raises the bar for gamers, equipping the hybrid with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU with 6GB of GDDR5 memory needed to effectively run games at the display’s native resolution.
The 15″ model even has an Xbox Elite receiver built into the Surface Book, letting users navigate Microsoft-certified VR headsets if they own an Elite controller. Given that we are talking a 2-in-1 capable of running the latest games and even pushing VR content, we are talking about a hybrid that is truly in rarefied air.
Most of all, the Microsoft Surface Book 2 exudes premium hardware and design at every turn. The powerful features of both Surface Book 2 models are packed into a sleek, lightweight form factor, with both models weighing less than five pounds. Clearly, Microsoft has created a feature-packed hybrid that should appeal to high-end creatives and gamers alike.
