The Most Powerful Surface Ever: Surface Book 2

Surface Book 2 is up to five times more powerful than the original. With PixelSense Display, Surface Book 2 gives the power of a laptop, the versatility of a tablet and the freedom of a portable studio all in one beautifully styled device. Surface Book 2 features the latest 8th- Gen Intel Dual-Core or Quad-Core processors, and NVIDIA GeForce GPUs.

Every detail of the iconic Surface Book 2 design has been refined, from the dynamic fulcrum hinge for a more stable touch experience, to the improved, backlit keyboard and flexibility of both USB Type-A and USB Type-C ports.

The Surface Book 2 will be available in 13.5” or 15” options, and boasts an impressive 17-hour battery life for marathon productivity sessions. From running software such as Adobe Creative Cloud and Autodesk, to playing great games such as Forza Motorsport 7 or Gears of War at 1080p, 60fps, it is more than prepared to support users’ workload for work or for play.

Performance Meets Style: Surface Laptop

Surface Laptop elevates design and performance in a sleek, elegant clamshell device. More than a traditional laptop, is engineered to start fast and stay fast with a 7th-generation Intel Core processor and up to 14.5 hours of battery life to last through the day. At just 1.25 kilograms and less than 14.5mm thin, the Surface Laptop fits nicely into your favourite bag, and is lightweight for users to bring around.

In addition, the Surface Laptop features a signature keyboard covered in luxurious Alcantara material, along with a quiet and responsive keyset, large precision trackpad, and soft palm rest for a new level of typing comfort.

Powered by Windows 10 in S mode, a new Windows experience streamlined for security and superior performance, Surface Laptop starts up and runs faster with InstantOn and an OS optimized for sustained performance. With the most battery life in its class, Surface Laptop redefines the perfect balance of pixels, performance and ultralight design.
