  • Pricey
  • Base system has no discrete GPU
  • No Windows Hello software support yet
  • It gets terribly expensive
  • Fan noise under load
  • No way to buy the base standalone
  • Woefully weak port selection
  • Windows 10 S is a good idea
  • But the Store isn't good enough yet
  • Touchpad needs work
  • Some performance bugs
  • Needlessly difficult to open
  • Expensive
  • Windows 10 S
  • Budget SSD
  • Only one USB port
  • No SD card reader
  • Extremely expensive as configured
  • Tablet portion has very short battery life
  • Not exactly light at 3.6 pounds
  • No USB-C/Thunderbolt ports
  • Expensive! Gap between display and keyboard will bother some. Solo tablet battery life is short
  • Configurations with the optional Nvidia GPU and more storage get very expensive. There are some first-generation quirks
  • Including an awkward gap between the screen and base when closed
  • Awkward hinge design
  • Heavy
  • Angular shape when closed
  • No USB Type-C port
  • Doesn't have the most recent generation of CPUs or GPUs
  • Very expensive
  • Heavy for a 13-inch ultrabook convertible

  • Rather large and heavy
  • Very expensive as you add options on

  • GPU not quite desktop-VR-ready
  • Performance Base not sold separately
  • No Thunderbolt 3
  • It's also slightly thicker and heavier than last year's version
  • And retains the odd gap on the folding hinge. Expensive compared to other options. Doesn't meet minimum specs for VR gaming
  • Thick and heavy
  • Average battery life
  • Last year's processor and graphics card
  • A collection of software issues hasn't been fixed months after launch. Compromised cooling solution. The hinge doesn't fully close. Expensive for a laptop
  • Expensive for a hybrid.
  • Thicker and heavier than 13- or 14-inch Ultrabooks

  • display eccellente, elevata autonomia, versatilità della soluzione 2 in 1,
  • nelle prove i modelli di pre produzione hanno avuto qualche problema a seguito degli update, ma contiamo sul fatto che saranno risolti quando Surface Book arriverà in Italia,
  • l'ottimo schermo, l'autonomia prolungata e la soluzione versatile fanno di Surface Book uno dei notebook più interessanti in arrivo. I prezzi si preannunciano un po' salati...
