The editors didn't like
Mediocre battery life
Integrated graphics are buggy
Nvidia base yet to prove its worth
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
No Thunderbolt 3.0 nor USB 10Gbps
Pricey. No ports on tablet body. Does not lie flat when closed
Rather large and heavy
Very expensive as you add options on
Mediocre battery life as a tablet
Awkward power button placement
Detaching and reattaching comes with some pain. This is a very expensive laptop
That weird gap
Display wobbles and feels top heavy
A little bulky as a laptop
Battery life is solid
But falls short of the 16 hours claimed. Sometimes you will forget where the power button is. It's expensive
But you're essentially getting two computers in one
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
Battery life could be better
No USB Type-C or HDMI options
No WWAN or RJ-45 options
No SmartCard or fingerprint reader
No secondary storage options
No TrackPoint or dedicated mouse keys

Short battery life for just the tablet
High cost of entry
"Fulcrum" hinge makes the laptop appear fatter when shut
Feels heavy compared to some other flagship laptops
Screen wobbles a bit it in laptop mode
Thicker and heavier than 13- and 14-inch Ultrabooks
hochwertiges Gehäuse aus Magnesiumlegierung, CPU-Leistung eines Notebooks in einem Convertible, kein ernsthaftes CPU- oder GPU-Throttling, Starke Laufzeit 9:30 Stunden, hohe Auflösung, helles Display auch für den Außeneinsatz, natives 3:2 Seitenverhältni

Eine Antwort auf diese Frage ist bei einem Spec-Vergleich natürlich nicht möglich. Dennoch lässt sich festhalten: Microsoft sollte sich auf seinen Lorbeeren im Luxus-Laptop-Segment nicht ausruhen. Das Surface Book bietet auf dem Papier immer noch eine übe...

Abstract: Microsoft hat auch mitbekommen, dass es beim Design sehr viel Zuspruch gegeben hat, also sah man sich darin bestätigt und hat bei der Neuauflage äußerlich alles beim Alten belassen. Die Verbesserungen finden unter der Haube statt. Dort werden wir den Inte...
der Computer Bild fällt zwar weniger euphorisch aus, aber der Hardware-Redakteur lässt sich zu der Aussage hinreißen, dass das Surface Book in punkto Wertigkeit mit dem MacBook Pro mithalten kann. PCWelt.de meint, dass das neue Microsoft-Notebook sogar a...
innovativer Formfaktor, sehr lange Laufzeit, separate Akkus in Display und Tastaturdock, überragende Grafikleistung, 16 GB Hauptspeicher, schlankes, sehr helles und kontrastreiches Display, großer SSD-Speicher
vergleichsweise hohes Gewicht, kein Mobilfunk-Modem, Gerät schließt gelenkseitig nicht vollständig, hoher Preis
Alles in allem hinterließ unser Test einen etwas zwiespältigen Eindruck, denn die beeindruckenden Leistungswerte und die gute Verarbeitung können nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass das Surface Book nicht alle Erwartungen erfüllt. Ein Mobilfunk-Modem, eine...
Die Frage, ob es mir denn gefallen hat? Ja – hat es. Es hat mir klar gemacht, dass mein alter Laptop wirklich in die Jahre gekommen ist und ich habe es sehr gern verwendet. Der Preis ist mir persönlich zu hoch, selbst für das Einstiegsmodell – dennoch kan...
Das Surface Book ist der erste eigene „Laptop“ aus dem Hause Microsoft. Was bleibt also für ein Eindruck bei mir hängen? Das Design ist natürlich Geschmacksache aber in Ordnung und die verwendeten Materialien hochwertig und sehr gut verarbeitet. Die Techn...

zum Microsoft Surface BookIch begleite seit Jahren die Surface Reihe von Microsoft und das Surface Book ist für mich das bisher gelungenste Gerät der Reihe. Microsoft schafft es hier, ein einzigartiges Gerät abzuliefern. Die 3:2 Displayauflösung ist eine...
