QuestionDoes the i5 8gb version of surface book 2 have Nvidia graphics?
Asked 8 years ago by nate.
- Answer There are no Nvidia graphics on the Core i5 models. On the 13.5" Surface Book 2 you can step up to the Core i7 to get the Nvidia GTX1050 graphics chipset with 2GB memory. Sticking with the Core i5 you only get Intel 620 HD graphics. If you go with the 15" Surface Book, it only comes with a Core i7 and the Nvidia GTX1060 chipset with 6GB of memory.

QuestionWhat is the (realistic battery life) for the Microsoft Surface Book 2 ? Microsoft claims over 17 hours but I want to make sure that is accurate.
Asked 6 years ago by cgsteel.
- Answer I've had the Surface book 2 for about a month now. Realistically I do not think that it can last up to 17hrs. If you are doing any type of work I would say probably closer to the 7 hours mark, and then also if its in Battery-Saver Mode it slow down quite a bit. I took off that feature as it got REALLY slow in that mode.

Asked 5 years ago by Flowy.
- Answer It works well with Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I typically use a bluetooth mouse when I'm on the road for extra comfort. I tend to like to use a USB-C hub where I can connect my keyboard and mouse dongle as well as my hdmi cable for my second monitor while I'm at home
