Microsoft updated its Surface Book line. The newly updated hybrid laptop is faster, has more screen modes as well as being a 15 inch model. The new design of the Surface Book 2 is almost the same as that of its predecessor with a removable screen and hinge is on the keyboard, Microsoft reports.
The new revision will get an 8th generation quadcore Intel Core i5 or i7 chip with optional 8 or 16GB of system memory and 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of storage.
The Surface Book screen can be disconnected from the keyboard, and used as a separate tablet. Unlike the previous model, the screen can also be snapped back on the keyboard so that the pressure sensitive touchscreen can be used as a tablet. There is a choice in graphics chip, the 13.5 inch Surface Book 2 is available with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050, the 15 inch model with a GTX 1060. This makes the laptops suitable for heavier tasks like virtual reality and games states Microsoft. The 13.5 inch model has a screen resolution of 3000x2000 pixels, the 15 inch model would do 3240x 160 pixels.
