The ultimate laptop

Incredibly powerful and meticulously crafted, Surface Book is a revolution in laptop design. The detachable 13.5-inch PixelSense Display is optimized for Pen and touch, and has higher resolution than MacBook Pro 13.⁵ With the full power of a high-performance laptop and the versatility of a tablet, Surface Book gives you everything you need to work with professional-grade software, anywhere you want.

Most powerful device in its class

Surface Book runs all the professional-grade software you need for engineering, design, and everything in between. Intel Core processors have twice the power of a MacBook Pro 13, with an optional NVIDIA GeForce GPU for unmatched graphics performance. And up to 16 hours of battery life for video playback² keeps you going all day, every day, so you can bring your work anywhere.

Meticulously crafted, built to last

Surface Book was carefully designed to be a powerful laptop that's thin enough to take anywhere without losing an ounce of performance. It's built with a light magnesium chassis and an innovative Dynamic Fulcrum Hinge to keep it balanced at any angle.

Detachable PixelSense Display

The 13.5-inch PixelSense Display is simply stunning, while working perfectly with Pen and touch. Its 6 million pixels give you unbeatable resolution and color rivaling real life. Detach the display to transform Surface Book into a thin and light PC that can run professional-grade software. Surface Pen has 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity and an eraser on the other end, so handwritten notes on your screen are just like pen on paper.

Watch, draw, or design

Once detached, flip the screen 180 degrees and reattach it to the integrated keyboard to present, watch movies, or design with Surface Pen. And you're only a click away from the Windows Ink workspace, with quick access to sticky notes, a blank page for sketching, or a quick screenshot that you can mark-up and share.

Add SIM Port

May I suggest Microsoft to add SIM Port on the Surface Book and make available it with only English Keyboard in Middle Market too as above 50% Desktop/Laptop users are expertise who love to use clean English Keyboard without multiple languages.

Still no upgrade.

It's been quite some time since I bought my Surface Book. Coming up on a year and a half. The only difference in it and this computer is the keyboard, which MS will not sell separately. This is a terrible policy. You'd have less trouble upgrading an Ipad Air yourself. Microsoft releases an Upgradeable laptop, then released the upgrade for it, and told everyone that if you want it, you have to buy a whole new laptop -- for no reason. Will not buy another surface book (2, or the "new SB", or likewise) until Microsoft explicitly states that they will make these options available. This is the dirtiest business practice. You spend $3000 on a laptop, for them to release a new, faster keyboard in only six months, that is DETACHABLE, HOTSWAPPABLE, and works with the 'previous' model (the same EXACT top-end), without any separate purchase options.

Love it

purchased my Surface Book when they first came out about a year and a half ago. I've had essentially no problems - a couple of small glitches fixed in minutes by calling Microsoft support. I'm a lawyer and use it extensively for court and presentations. its been with me every day for 18 mos and its the best machine i've every used, and i've used plenty. i would like MS to please refresh this; maybe a little sleeker and offer a couple of different sizes. one thing i love is the large screen when working on documents side by side. anyway, thanks for the great device.

Touchpad is temperamental

I'm a Visual Studio developer so I got an i7 machine (6/10/2017) with 16 gig of memory. The machine is powerful but coming from a MacBook pro I am very disappointed with the touchpad. A single click is a right click and so is a tap. The only way to get a single click is with a very very light touch. I gave this machine to 3 people to test and all came away frustrated. This machine may go back and I will go back to Apple and use boot-camp or Parallels. Is there a way to fix this? Is this normal?

Perfect desktop replacement

I've had mine since the day the first generation came out. Never one bit of trouble - replaced my desktop 100%. Super powerful, beautiful, runs my multi-screen layout. What's not to love?

Not good for designer

I bought surface book instead of buying a Mac Pro for my designing work. I was very disappointed. The Photoshop works slow, the Illustrator stopped working for so many times when I was doing my important projects. I tried Trouble Shooting but it did not solve my problem at all. I asked for whether I can upgrade to a higher Memory but Microsoft does not have this option for their surface book. I think I will buy a Mac pro again and use this surface book for watching video only, which I do not really need because I have a Mac air as well!!!!

Performance Base Disallows Tablet Undock

We got this at work to see if these could become our default on-the-go computers. The ability to use this as a tablet was a no-go since our programs required the NVidia chipset to run the programs. It turns out that graphics card is in the Performance Base and would crash the programs if undocked to use as a tablet for OneNote. This COMPLETELY made the device useless.

Very Unstable

I love the form factor, but the execution is terrible. I bought the Surface Book shortly after it came out, and I have had issues with it every since. Avoid this product at all costs.
