The Surface Book 2 uses the fastest version of the same CPU, the i7-8650U and so it performance similarly to the XPS 13 on productivity tasks. That results in great productivity performance and even some extra power for things like encoding video. It still utilizes Intel’s quad-core eighth-generation Core i5 and i7 processors, and there’s till still up to 16GB of RAM and up to a 1TB PCIe solid-state drive (SSD). Nevertheless, Dell has upped the ante in terms of using new materials to bring advantages in feel and thermal performance, and its new aesthetics set it apart.ĭell might have adjusted the XPS 13’s chassis, but it retained the machine’s internals from the previous version. One area where Dell took a step back is overall rigidity, with the newest model being a bit bendier than before, whereas the Surface Book 2 is solid as a rock. Overall, it’s a unique look with design that’s shared across Microsoft’s entire Surface line and makes it at once different and yet recognizable - and of course the display tears off to work as a surprisingly thin and light tablet complete with advance pen support. It’s a simple design that still looks ultra-modern, in spite of slightly chunky bezels by today’s standards, although it’s quite a bit thicker (0.90 inches at the hinge) and heavier (it starts at 3.38 pounds). Microsoft’s Surface Book 2 13 sports a distinctly different aesthetic, with its magnesium chassis and unique fulcrum hinge making it a bit thick in the rear. Dell also commissioned a Gore Thermal Insulation material to help get hot air out of the chassis and keep performance ramped up. There’s a new Rose Gold aluminum lid and Alpine White keyboard deck version that’s quite striking and it’s made with a special glass fiber material specially designed for Dell.
There’s still the same basic design in its black variant that’s been around forever, including some of the thinnest bezels around, but the notebook has is even thinner (0.46 inches at its thickest point) and lighter (2.67 pounds) than ever.
