The editors didn't like

  • 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

  • Rather large and heavy
  • Very expensive as you add options on
  • Mediocre battery life as a tablet

  • 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

  • Grafikkarte und Akku im Dock, Verarbeitung, Sehr hohe Displayqualität, Leistung
  • Lüftergeräusch, Preis
  • Das Surface Book dominiert im Test die Konkurrenz. Bis auf den hohen Preis und einige kleine Handling-Schwächen hat das 2-in-1 Tablet keine Mankos. Überragendes Arbeitstempo, wertiges Gehäuse, clevere Detaillösungen sowie lange Laufzeiten und zahlreiche...

  • Tolle Verarbeitung, Gutes Display, Akkulaufzeit, Windows Hello, Tastatur, Trackpad und Stylus,
  • Etwas zu dick und schwer, Software noch fehlerhaft, Teuer
  • Ist nun das Surface Book DAS perfekte Notebook? Diese Frage muss man leider mit Nein beantworten. Das Surface Book ist ein gelungenes Notebook, oder vielmehr ein Convertible mit vielen Vorzügen. Die Liste ist lang: ein großartiges Display, gute Lautsprecher...

  • hochwertiges Gehäuse aus Magnesiumlegierung, CPU- und GPU-Leistung eines Notebooks in einem Convertible, kein ernsthaftes CPU- oder GPU-Throttling, hohe Auflösung, helles Display auch für den Außeneinsatz, natives 3:2 Seitenverhältnis für Bildbearbeitung
  • dicker und schwerer als 13- oder 14-Zoll-Ultrabooks, Akkulaufzeit könnte besser sein, kein USB-C oder HDMI, kein WWAN oder RJ-45, kein SmartCard-Leser oder Fingerabdruckscanner, keine sekundäre Speicherlösung, kein TrackPoint oder dedizierte Maustasten,
  • Eines der Hauptziele von einem Convertible ist es, ein Notebook zu ersetzen und dem Anwender sowohl einen Betrieb als Tablet und auch Notebook zu ermöglichen. Das Ergebnis ist meistens alles andere als perfekt: Schwankende Qualität, schlechte Tastatur, ei...

  • Angriff auf Apple: Mit dem Surface Book fordert Microsoft das Apple Macbook Pro heraus. Wer siegt im Duell der Luxus-Laptops
  • Unsere Kollegen räumen ein, dass bei dem Test nicht zwei preislich identische Notebooks verglichen wurden, sondern ein Modell des Surface Book, welches mit 1.699 US-Dollar deutlich teurer als das für 1.299 US-Dollar erhältliche MacBook Pro 13 ist. Allerdi...
