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
Native 3

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

Surface Book är en ofattbart läcker dator med massor av muskler och lång batteritid
Priset är för högt och det kan diskuteras om inte Microsoft borde ha hoppat över surfplattefunktionen
Microsoft Surface Book är en ofattbart läcker dator som för många kan vara ett bra alternativ till Apple MacBook Pro eller Dell XPS 13. Det betyder att vi måste medge att jo, den har varit värd att vänta på. Dessvärre ligger priset i den mycket höga änden...
Halverad hårdvaraDå Surface Book fungerar både som bärbar dator och surfplatta måste det av naturliga skäl finnas hårdvara både i själva plattan och den avtagbara bottendelen som hyser tangentbordet. Båda halvorna är byggda i ett läckert designat aluminiu...

Högkvalitativt chassi i magnesiumlegering, Hög CPU- och GPU-prestanda utan allvarlig strypning, Lång batteritid, Bildförhållandet 3:2 bra för redigering, Exakta färger och hög kontrast, Bekväma inmatningsenheter, Full GPU-prestanda på batteridrift, Snabb
Tjockare och tyngre än 13- och 14-tums ultrabooks, Ej USB-C eller HDMI, Ej WWAN eller RJ45, Ingen fingeravtrycksläsare, Saknar dedikerade musknappar, Surfplattan blir varm under belastning, Högt pris

Tjockare och tyngre än 13- och 14-tums ultrabooks, Batteritiden kunde varit bättre, Saknar USB Typ-C och HDMI, Inget WWAN eller RJ45, Ingen smartcard- eller fingeravtrycksläsare, Ingen TrackPoint eller dedikerade musknappar, 3:2-skärmen är inte idealisk

Abstract: Microsoftin Surface Book on mielenkiintoinen laite. Kahden viikon testin jälkeen en oikein osaa sanoa, pidänkö siitä vai en. Tai siis tarkalleen ottaen pidän, mutta testilaitteen ohjehinta, 2799 euroa, tuntuu suorastaan poskettomalta. Siksi laite aiheutta...

Abstract: Ei ole Microsoftille tyypillistä olla altavastaajan asemassa. Tablettipuolella asia kuitenkin on näin. Tabletit alkavat olla jo mummojenkin laitteita, mutta Microsoft on vasta laittamassa lusikkaansa soppaan.Yhtiön ei pitänyt tuoda aluksi tablettiaan Suom...
Abstract: Microsoft Surface Book ble annonsert allerede høsten 2015, og Dinside var faktisk til stede under avdukingen hos Microsoft i Seattle. Og selv om Microsoft viste frem flere nyheter der, stjal Surface Book omtrent all oppmerksomhet fra de frammøtte journali...
