Microsoft’s new Surface Book 2 overpowers Apple’s MacBook Pro

Two years after the original Surface Book was introduced, Microsoft has finally updated the ambitious hybrid laptop. Aptly named Surface Book 2, Microsoft says the update is “the laptop of the future for the creators making the future.”

“A laptop powerful enough to fuel the next wave of computing across mixed reality, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and immersive gaming,” said Microsoft’s Panos Panay. “A laptop that empowers the designers, developers, artists, and scientists to imagine and build without limits and without compromises.”

The Surface Book 2 comes in two sizes: 13-inch and 15-inch, the latter of which weighs 4.2lbs when docked. Microsoft’s smaller version packs an Nvidia 1050, while the 15-inch model sports an Nvidia 1060, more than enough to chug through photo and video editing, and maybe even some high-end games. (Cuphead would look spectacular running on these machines.)
