With Surface Book 2, Microsoft keeps all those things which made the display great and further improved on it. I also loved the 3:2 aspect ratio of the display which gave users more vertical real-estate to work with. The 13.5 inch of pixel-sense display was a beauty to look at. The original Surface Book boasted of one of the best, if not the best display in any laptop. The first change that you will notice when you look at the new Surface Book 2 is that display.

We have divided the hardware into different sections to highlight the main changes that the all-new Surface Book 2 brings to the table. Almost everything about them has been upgraded including the IO.

The new hardware in the Surface Book 2 puts it well above its original counterpart. Where the new Surface Books have truly changed from its predecessors is in the hardware department. However, at the end of the day, on the surface, the newer Surface Books look and feel pretty similar to the original Surface Book, and if you loved its design then, you will love it even more. If you have a keen eye, you will also appreciate the tweaked keyboard deck which gives it a cleaner look. The hinge in the Surface Book 2 has been strengthened and should give extra stability to the tablet portion than its older sibling could. Both of them are built with the same thin and light Magnesium alloy which has held pretty well over the years. People who wanted extra screen real-estate will surely appreciate this upgrade. I don’ have any problem with it as the hinge allows the Surface Book to detach the tablet (clipboard) part which is a really cool feature.Ĭoming to the Surface Book 2, as I mentioned, it comes in two different sizes, one with a 13.5-inch display and the other with a 15-inch display. I know many people had a problem with the hinge design of the Surface Book and sadly its still here to stay. However, this also means that if you hated the original design, you will hate this one too. I loved the industrial design of the original Surface Book and am happy to see that return. The Surface Book 2’s design follows the same principle of the original Surface Book and that’s not necessarily the bad thing.
