The 13.5-inch model starts at $1,499 (approximately Rs. 97,500) and 15-inch one at $2,499 (approximately Rs. 1,62,500). They would be available from 16 November. Read more!

Common Specs
Surface Book 2 laptops come with latest hardware specs

Both the 13.5-inch and 15-inch Surface Book 2 convertible laptops come in the storage options of 256GB, 512GB or 1TB.

The displays of the Surface Book 2 laptops can be used as standalone tablets by detaching them from the keyboard. The tablets house a battery component. Microsoft claims the laptops can get 17-hour battery life, while the tablets get five hours, compared to Apple MacBook Pro's 10-hour battery. Apart from the improved battery life, Microsoft says its laptops beat Apple in many categories.

Information
Both the models come with bundled stylus

Similar to the predecessor, the Surface Book 2 laptops also come with a bundled stylus. Users can purchase the Surface Dial separately. Microsoft has updated and strengthened the hinge on both the variants to make it sturdier and less space occupying.

13.5-inch Model
13.5-in Surface Book 2 houses new Nvidia graphics card

The 13.5-inch variant sports a 3000 x 2000 pixel display giving a 267 PPI pixel density. Its base model has seventh-generation Intel Core i5 7300U processor with 8GB RAM while the upgraded version offers eighth-generation Intel Core i7 8650U processor with 16GB RAM. It has Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 with 2GB graphics memory. The base model weighs 1.5kg and the high-end variant around 1.64kg.

15-inch Variant

Quote
Microsoft Devices Corporate Vice-President Panos Panay's statement
