Great screen, Excellent keyboard, Hugely powerful, Turns into a sketchbook in seconds
Remains expensive, You probably want a Surface Book 2
Although the MacBook Pro – and Microsoft's own Surface Book 2 – are formidable opponents, the Surface Book remains hugely powerful and flexible for the creative professional. You do need to want the flexibility of the tablet part to make it worthwhile, th...

Very good battery life, Powerful, Feels great to use as a tablet, Fanless design
Very expensive, On the heavier side, No Surface Pen included
The 13.5-inch Surface Book 2 is a brilliant device, and the most powerful 2-in-1 laptop we've tried. If you're after an excellent showcase for Windows 10, including the new features of the Fall Creators Update, such as Windows Mixed Reality, then you'll l...
Excellent design and build quality, Awesome display, Incredible battery life, Decent entry-level gaming performance, Great keyboard and touchpad
Coil whine is excessive and obtrusive, Expensive compared to traditional convertibles, No Thunderbolt 3 support
Yes, if you want one of the most powerful 13-inch class 2-in-1s on the market, and the one with the absolute most innovation and flexibility. You'll pay through the nose, but you won't be compromising in design, build, or performance, and the battery life...
Abstract: The Dell XPS 13 is an excellent ultraportable laptop, the best 13-inch Windows model going for many. Dell hasn't aimed for a single superlative feature, a potential gimmick. Its footprint is smaller than the competition, but it's thicker. Its screen resol...

Great muscle-wire release system to separate laptop and screen into two parts for versatile use, oodles on power on tap, solid design
It's rather heavy, big price tag, combined battery life is less than quoted, a little top-heavy and upright, screen lacks ultra-wide colour gamut
As an update to the original, the Surface Book 2 makes some neat nips and tucks - mainly under the skin, with improved power and performance - that add up to make this Microsoft a seriously powerful contender for Apple's MacBook Pro. The Book 2 is more ve...
