Microsoft - Surface Book 2 2-in-1 15" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 16GB Memory - 256GB SSD

Microsoft did a great job with this laptop. Being able to quickly remove the screen to use as a large tablet or writing\drawing surface is great and allows for a very versatile machine that can fit almost any use case. The battery life is great as well. If you step up to the higher model you get the NVIDIA GTX 1060 for enhanced graphical power for videos, photos, and games. The keyboard feels fantastic and the touchpad has no equal outside of a MacBook. Two USB ports, SD Card slot, and a USB-C port give good options to connect to accessories. Also, don't forget the Surface Dock (expensive but very useful) to connect it to a large monitor, mouse and keyboard, and printers etc. just like you would a desktop. That makes it easy to use in the office and on the go. Having purchased many of these at work the reliability and robustness has been great. The smaller 13.5 inch model has a great case made by UAG if you feel you need to protect it. The 15 inch model has no case options I'm aware of at this time. Overall, highly recommended for a lightweight, powerful, and versatile laptop.

I have been a long time believer of the Surface Book (SB) line of 2-in-1 laptops. They have been consistently great for work, play, and school needs: fast, looonnngggggg battery life, stable, screen with best in class color fidelity, and a really stellar typing experience (yeah, no unreliable "butterfly" keyboards here). This is my 1st experience with the 15" variety (all of the previous ones have been the 13.5" SB2 & SB for me and my kids) and the 15" configuration does not disappoint. If you are looking for a laptop with an excellent detachable experience for reading/browsing/drawing in a slightly larger form factor, this one hits a great price/performance point. Note: this configuration does NOT have the discrete NVIDIA graphics card (so has a lower price point in the SB2 line), but the integrated Intel HD 620 GPU has plenty of horsepower for a great browsing, authoring, and video-playback experience (if playing games or looking to do more 3D rendering workloads, then look for the Surface Book 2 versions with the discrete video card). Overall, highly recommended.

I had a Surface Pro and loved it, but when the battery started to go I decided to upgrade and go for the Book 2 as it was on sale. I am very happy I did. The 15-inch screen is beautiful, and while the tablet seems like it might be too big, it actually is very comfortable given how thin and light it is. I primarily use in laptop mode and keyboard feels very solid. Overall I am extremely happy with this machine and would definitely recommend.

I am an engineer, and I'm currently studying for the FE exam. I have been looking all over the place for a good laptop. This laptop is great because it turns into a pad. It also has a magnetic side where you can keep your pen. I love the 15" compared to the 13.5" even though the 13.5" doesn't take too much space but I need the 15" for the screen. It is easy to type and I like how it has onedrive built in to it even though I use a hard drive to store my files. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. I wish they come in black though, the gray is fine for the amount of space for the laptop.

This is a very nice unit: powerful, fast, and lightweight. It's a huge hit with Microsoft fans, and even with those without that specific preference. We have bought many of these and the Surface Pro 6, and every user has been very satisfied. For me as the buyer, the purchase process has been the best aspect of these purchases: Best Buy makes is effortless to buy now. I ordered this unit online, specified that I wanted to pick it up at a nearby store, set someone else as the person who would actually pick it up, and within an hour we had the unit! It does not get easier than that! Thanks Best Buy, for figuring it out! Note: the low rating on Value below is not related to BB's price, but on the price point Microsoft puts on these units, compared to its competitors' closest matching items.

Easy to use. Graphics and picture quality is outstanding. Like the ability to use it as a tablet also and being able to use the pen and write on the screen is nice.

This laptop is supposed to be the best in class and a windows alternative to MacBook. I was told it had the best performance among windows laptops. It has not been my experience. It's a good laptop for sure, but not worth the money at all. I've had mulitple problems with it since I bought it, and it seems slower than my $800 hp. I would not buy it again, not worth the price.

Easy to use. Like the versatility. The 2 in one option is good.
