However, while there is no way you can say that it isn’t unique, there are two things to note.
So how does it look? I actually really like, but to be honest, I am sure the hinge will be a polarizing visual element for some.
Inside the keyboard dock, you get a 2nd battery and a discreet Nvidia GPU (in certain models), while the CPU, Motherboard, RAM and HD are housed in behind the screen. You see…unlike most laptops that store all of the computer parts in the base, the Surface Book has a completely detachable screen that allows you to use just the tablet and leave the keyboard behind if needed. Unlike most laptop hinges that are static (meaning they don’t move), the dynamic fulcrum hinge actually rolls out as the laptop is opened. One of the most talked about features of the Surface Book is the custom hinge that truly stands out, known as a dynamic fulcrum hinge. This means that the screen is a bit taller than you might be used to, but this feature comes in handy with Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop or any other photo-editing applications you are used to using as your images will have a bit more screen space to utilize. Unlike most laptops that use a 16:9 display ratio, the Surface Book uses a more standard 2:3 ratio, essentially matching that of a standard photograph. It is bright, colorful and impressively color accurate. The display is gorgeous, although glossy to you will see reflections. The brushed aluminum looks great and feels good in your hands.

In all honestly…aside from the Windows logo on the back, it looks as if it was built by Apple…which is a huge compliment to Microsoft. One of the first things you are going to notice about the Surface Book is the quality and craftsmanship that when into making this thing. My Surface Book in Iceland along with my G-Technology 500GB ev RaW HDĪll in all, Microsoft has 6 different variations of the Surface Book available for sale.ġ28 GB/ Intel i5 – 8GB | 256GB / Intel i5 – 8GBĢ56GB / Intel i5 – 8GB / dGPU | 256GB / Intel i7 – 8GB / dGPUĥ12GB / Intel i7 – 16GB / dGPU | 1TB / Intel i7 – 16GB / dGPU
The specs below are for the Surface Book version that I bought, which is essentially one of the highest end versions available.Ģx USB 3.0 (A), Mini DisplayPort, SD Card Slotĭimensions – 12.3 x 0.9 x 9.1″ / 31.2 x 2.3 x 23.1 cm (Laptop)ġ2.3 x 0.3 x 8.7″ / 31.2 x 0.8 x 22.1 cm (Screen Only) So how did it do? Let’s continue reading to find out… Luckily I have been able to spend the last three months with a top end MS Surface Book (i7, 16gb of Ram w/ 500gb SSD + additional Nvidia GPU), putting it to the test and seeing what it is truly capable of as I take it on the road with me around the globe. Add in an upgraded pen stylus (which uses N-Trig technology) and you can begin to understand why photographers were pretty excited when the Surface Book was announced.īut regardless of the hype and excitement, it is of course the real world use for photographers that matters the most. The Microsoft Surface Book on the other hand is a laptop first…and a tablet second (with a fully detachable screen), allowing it to have enough space in the keyboard dock to fit in extra things such as a 2nd battery and optional dedicated GPU to further increase performance. Up to this point, most 2 in 1 hybrid devices were tablets first and laptops second, often with separate Bluetooth keyboards.

This past year they upped their game, not only releasing an update to their popular Surface Pro line, but by catching the tech and photo industry by surprise with the announcement of the Surface Book back on October 6th. After a rocky start a few years ago, the MS Surface and Surface Pro line of products have continued to grow slowly by surely, moving into a leading position within this form-factor. Leading this growing market segment is a surprising character, Microsoft. Even Apple, who’s founder Steve Jobs famously lamented the idea of a Pen Stylus, finally came out with their own 2:1 device just last month that has an optional keyboard and pen (or pencil more accurately), the iPad Pro.

While many aspects of the PC industry are currently on a downward trajectory in terms of overall sales, 2:1 hybrids (devices that double as a laptop & tablet or vice versa) are selling like hot cakes. While photographers from the old guard might pontificate about how great things were back “in the day”, the truth is that photography is now more accessible, more affordable and our gear is certainly more powerful. Additionally, computer manufacturers are now building devices with creatives/photographers in mind, a change of pace after years of neglect. When it comes to being a photographer, we are without a doubt living in the golden age of photo technology.
