This is the best review I've seen. Hundreds of "reviewers" all over UA-cam saying the same damn thing. This guys here who actually uses the device and can really tell you what you want to hear based on his real work experience.
Proud owner of the highest spec 15" surface book 2 here. Costed me lots of money, but the machine is a productivity dream. It's a universal swiss knife, it can do anything you throw at it: Work, image/video editing, Signing documents, Gaming, Reading etc... The best machine I ever owned.
Me too I have it too but sometimes I find it bit sensitive since it has touch screen mode with soo many luxurious functions still gettin to know it although I got it when it came out in the market
This gentleman here is the single greatest tech reviewer I have come across. Thank you sir, for actually going the distance of explaining the device in a way that even a non-graphic-designer would understand and still find very useful. In a perfect world I would have you review all the tech products I would ever consider. Thank you and keep being awesome.
Hi Penelope; I agree. I went from a MacBook pro 15inch to Surface BK2. I almost cried lol. It's SO MUCH BETTER! Apple used to be about innovation, but MS has totally beat them I believe. I love my Surface and will never ever go back to Mac. Also thank you OP for the great review.
I was watching this and was just too impressed. Not even about the surface, microsoft nailed it, but about your ability to do a very detailed review on this device. I wanted something potable for graphics design and productivity in general, also coding, then a friend recommended the surface book 2, ever since I've been looking for a detailed review and I've got my mind made up after watching this video. Thanks for the review and I'm definitely gonna sub to your channel 🙂
Surface Book 3 is the latest. It’s powerful enough for graphic design work but battery life isn’t as good compared to other laptops. For the price you want want to consider a Surface Laptop 4 plus an iPad
Honestly, the best video review I have ever seen. The most helpful information and nice demo for all the people who have doubts about the performance and usability. Thanks so much for your job!
A couple of things: 1. Pen jitter is DEFINITELY still present in this device. It is using the same Ntrig tech for the pen. The reason you don't see in it your Medibang demo is because you have "stroke smoothing" turned on. 2. The performance of the device can be dramatically affected when connected to the keyboard/dock if you have the device with a discrete GPU. The GPU is in the keyboard/dock. So depending on the app you're using and/or your settings, this may be something that you want to consider.
Ryno Bones well idk what your using, I was just informing you that he’s wrong and it does have jitter. I draw on my SB2 and at least Photoshop has jitter(haven’t used other programs) it’s pretty bad too. I have to use smoothing to fix it most of the time.
Nice review and i think the best review of this surface Book 2, your reviews videos is everytime very good :) I have one question, Do you think the "Acer Switch 3" is good cheap alternative of the surface pro 4 ?
I've not used Acer Switch 3 before so I can't say much. The spec looks a little underpowered. If you just want something to draw on, you can consider the iPad 2018 and Apple Pencil
Totally agree. Scrap the superfluous Xbox controller receiver and shove some Bluetooth into the keyboard. Any serious drawer needs their hotkeys Microsoft!
One of the best reviews, Thank you! I am torn about buying the 13.5" and the 15" 16GB RAM. I am not gonna using it as main workstation for 3D content production, but from time to time when I am not at my working place nor home, I would use it for that purpose (Maya, ZBrush, Substance Designer/Painter, Unreal Engine 4, etc). Would you recommend the 13.5 or display size would be definitely too small using such software? Thanks for your opinion :)
Marvellous, this is just the insight I needed as an Illustration student. I am seriously considering the 13.5" with 16GB RAM + 512GB storage (or the 15" 256GB), I will be using it solely for the Adobe trio (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). The touchscreen and pen are an extra level which Apple can't offer, hence going for Windows over a MacBook. Do you think the Surface Book 2 is suitable for these conditions? Thank you.
One more question - My daily routine consists of Rhino, alias, keyshot along with photoshop, illustrator etc. Which SB2 would you recommend? I am having eyes on SB2 with i7, 512 (Or 256) SSD, 16GB Ram and 6gb nvidia 1060 but waiting for december sales. Please let me know which one will be good for me. Thanks for the review and big thumbs up !
Do you need the tablet form factor? If not, you can get a normal laptop with better specs for the same money. 512GB storage is good if you have the budget. If not you can get 256GB and get extra storage from Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive. That's 200GB for US$2.99/monthly.
Same! I just got this Surface book 2 and I'm having reservations. I got the 13" with i5 - 8350U processor. MS spec page says it's quad core so there's contradicting info on that. I used Photoshop and Autodesk in tablet mode and the line has a wiggle to it at normal pressure. With heavy pen pressure it's more smooth. There are no settings for the pen pressure like with Wacom. The display can't be adjusted to reduce the warmth so color presentation is a little off. I think the higher processor for the surface book 2 is around the same cost as the Wacom... I am not sure which is better, drawing experience or computing diversity. I too want to know which is a better investment! Also, I barely got 2 hours in tablet mode with Photoshop.
Hello Teoh . as someone who work a lot most of the time on the laptop and just doing Lightroom and video editing once in a while and not every day. is it recommend to work on the Microsoft surface pro 7 or you would recommend only on the Book 2? i would go on the i5/8 Giga Ram/ 256 ssd
im thinking about either getting this or just a laptop and tablet separately. I will be an animation student soon and I'm unsure if animation will be efficient with a 2 in 1... Any thoughts?
Teoh Yi Chie Yes, it is more powerful but overall build quality, performance and the lifespan of the device matters for me more. Thus, i want to know which one is better regarding these things, especially build quality and lifespan.
If I'm doing occassional photo editing and regular internet browsing, youtube, etc...should I get this or a macbook? I currently have a 2011 macbook pro that is outdated and not compatible with lightroom.
Either Windows or Mac would work. If you have no specific reason to use Mac (eg use software that run only on Mac), maybe get Windows laptops. The Microsoft ones are good. The 2016 to 2018 MacBook Pro keyboards are prone to failure to the extend that Apple has a free repair program for them. But once that program ends, you're on you own. I doubt those MBP keyboards would last more than three years.
what would you say is the best drawing app I'm wanting to learn but don't know where to start. Also I'm yet to buy a tablet laptop which is best for beginners on a budget?
@@sarahlou5777 It's best to get one with warranty as these are not easy to service. Then key question to ask is do you need to draw on the screen. If not you might be better off with a laptop. At the same price, you may get a more powerful laptop. Or a laptop and iPad combo if that's within the budget.
Tablet format is an awkward way of working only to be suited for freehand illustrators. For UI design and graphic design in general I really prefer a clicker to navigate around my palettes. I've tried a pen but I keep getting tired in my arm as I lift and re-position it repeatedly, also it's an odd way to open palettes and adjust different settings. Anyways, a laptop for graphic intens work is not a very good option. Even a top specked laptop comes short of even a cheap stationary PC. For this amount of money you can get a really powerful stationary that outruns this Surface Book ten times around AND even throw in a proper 27" screen that supports a much better color gamut. Laptop monitors are terrible at Adobe RGB so photo editing is out of the question.
Watched this on my surface book 2 15". As a student, digital artist and gamer, I got it for the portability and performance. It's quite a light device with heavy specs but by itself it does have some set backs (nothing major). As I have had my device for quite a long time, I would recommend the following accessories for anyone who is interested in a better experience. Firstly, a BaseQI card reader as these things fit flush into the device and has a great alluminium finish and best of all you get extra storage up to 256GB so you can free up your internal memory, a stand as using it in studio mode can strain your back if you want to draw for hours on end, I have the Xp-Pen Artist10S stand and it fits the 15" screen perfectly and can be adjusted in 1 degree increments, and lastly a bluetooth keyboard and or a Wacom express key remote, this really helps with keyboard shortcuts and makes drawing much more efficient! I hope this helps! Anyway, great review as always Teoh! :)
Lily Vuong Typing all of that for the sake of helping people is just amazing. So, thank you. I have a really important question, how is this machine SB2 15 inch for architectural work? We use a bit heavier software than artists, and i am confused between this machine or the mobile workstation from HP called Zbook 15/17 models.
I brought the screen to job interviews (share my work and do some note taking). I also used it for team discussions and quickly Slack the sketches to my team members. When I'm back home, I just attach it back and watch Netflix and do some normal surfing. I recommend you guys to get a tempered glass (9H grade) and cover the front from scratches.
Yay Theo!! I asked for a review from you a long time ago and you did it! I did end up buying it some months ago. The 15-inch version is a lightweight beautiful beast and it has helped me tremendously as a student, artist, gamer and web-surfer. The only thing I wished it could do is allow us to use the keyboard detached from the screen. I bought the Dial and honestly I don't use it - it's way too limited. What was that model of Logitech keyboard you were using? I really need one too for shortcuts.
That’s a Logitech K810. It’s out of production so some sellers are selling at higher than usual prices. You can look for other wireless Bluetooth keyboards from Logitech. Could be cheaper. Look for one that has a Ctrl button on the right side. That’s very important.
The screen can only fit in two configurations, the normal laptop mode, and the mode that covers the keyboard. It can't flip over like those flip-able laptops where the screen and keyboard are facing opposite direction.
@@teohyc It actually has four configurations: the two you mentioned, the tablet mode without the keyboard, and the one you'll be happy to know about, View Mode. You can lock the SB onto the keyboard with the screen facing OUT, like a reverse laptop-mode, and the hinge will offer the control you can't find in the other configurations.
Ewan Matthews he literally said that in his comment. The mode that the SB2 can’t do is having both the screen and keyboard facing out simultaneously like a hybrid laptop
@@jwright7117 I don't believe that's what the (edit: original) comment was about, but indeed Teoh did later mention that a true bluetooth keyboard would have been better. But the comment in the context of the video was on flipping the screen on its vertical axis in order to get a good drawing position.
Great review, Teoh! Comprehensive. I *think* you can use free software like Karabiner to change the menu key into a control key. Quad core is preferable, but still an impressive machine. MS has taken after Apple with their maddeningly slow spec bumps.
This is the best review i'm looking for!! How do you feel about the 13 i7 256gb 8gb Ram? Is it smooth enough for you to working on Ai or Ae? :) I'm struggling 8 or 16 Ram because of the price now. I basically using Ai Ps Xd for routine work, Ae, blender 3D few times in a month.
6:10 is that the fan that I hear running in the background? Also, have you done a video comparing the stylus that comes with the Microsoft Surface Book and the Apple Pencil? I only have used an iPad but I'm really curious about the Surface Book. Thanks! :)
Lol. That noise is from a small tram and track outside my place. As for Surface Pen vs Apple Pencil, the closest video is probably this one ua-cam.com/video/e_jByGG77K8/v-deo.html
After following your suggestions and watching over and over your review, at the end i decided to buy the SB2 15" 256GB, just one week ago. Great machine, but I have a sort of issue with the batteries which last really too short. I am afraid that I got defective ones. Using Photoshop I can barely hit 3 hours, even disabling the Nvidia GPU and using Photoshop with the Intel Integrated chip. It's weird because doing a video playback test, after 10 hours the battery was around 40%, so basically it could go on for 15-17 hours of video playback, same result claimed by Microsoft. But it seems that as soon as I do some slightly heavier task, even though not that much like retouching some picture in Photoshop, batteries drain immediately. Doing something more heavy like 3D with Maya, Megascans and Substance Suite, batteries last for around 1 and half hour. You said that overall they should last 7-10 hours, so I guess you mean also doing some PS work, right? In my case, 3 hours are way too less.
That's very strange, maybe check your task manager and check the processor activity. I'm not sure why this happens. Maybe ask on Adobe forums or Reddit. But using graphic software definitely drains battery much faster. Also try using Google Chrome (resource hog) and see if the battery drains fast too.
This review was excellent! I am looking at this computer as a at-home machine to do graphic design work for days I don't go into the office and this covered all my questions. I'm sold!!
The 15 in is a great size I’ve heard you can’t work on Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop if you detatch the screen from the keyboard. It has to remain as one if you have it with the screen at a 90degree angle, it’s awkward to use the pen to draw. If you flip it, then you lose the keyboard functionality. With both programs, keyboard short cuts are essential. I don’t know why they didn’t add a small detached side keyboard for shortcuts for artists. And not having the control key on the right is extremely awkward. The flatness is also problematic. I would like a lightweight accessory to adjust the tilt of the tablet when using it without the keyboard or flipped so you can use the keyboard. They really should have put another USB port in and the earphone insert should have been bottom right on the touch pad. Lifting the top up and down feels flimsy or delicate. I really think they didn’t run this by graphic arts people enough because these are very obvious issues an computer artist would point out. I’ve also heard they have had issues with the GPU and aren’t responding to them. Other than that, I think it’s the best computer laptop on the market. The price is too high by around $400. I love the keys, the screen and the silver material and design. I wish I didn’t feel it was too delicate to port around, but the slippery material has no rubbery cushion on the sides or top or rubbery footsteps anywhere and the hing might be sturdy but it does wobbly going up or down. And again no adjustable kickstand or Bluetooth graphics shortcut keypad. I also wish they’d had a Wacom brush as well as Wacom pens to use. And maybe some primary programmable click notches shortcut buttons on pen would help like select drag undo and paint. Let’s go product design people!
Hello, you seem very knowledgable on this computer. I wonder if you can help me? I need to buy a new laptop to replace my current 15" MacBook Pro. I work primarily with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator doing infographics, for posters, brochures, etc. as well as logos and billboards/pull-up banners using photo files. I am starting a business doing event planning and would like to design invitations with hand-drawn artwork. I was therefore looking to purchase a surface book 2 rather than replacing my MacBook with the newer touch bar model AND buying a separate iPad so i can use procreate. But I have been seeing a lot of forums saying that the Surface Book 2 does not perform well and has a lot of issues with Adobe Illustrator and Indesign. I don't mind using it with the keyboard and trackpad (as i'm doing this with my current laptop anyways). I don't really need the pen for those two. I'll probably get an app thats dedicated to just drawing anyways. Can you please advice if I should get this computer and how well it performs with Illustrator and Indesign? Does it make more sense than a MacBook? Thanks so much. Sorry for the long message.
I would recommend staying with a MacBook when using adobe suite. I'm been using a 15' MacBook pro 2014 for my architecture degree. It's amazing for that. @@856fatt
It's going to be slower compared to desktop of similar specs. Actually there are many factors that affect photo export time. How fast the processor is, whether there is enough cooling for the processor to boost and hold its max speed, and the software you use (lightroom 5.6 is slower than CC when exporting). In terms of photo editing, Surface Book 2 still does a good job for its price.
You should be able to use the KeyTweak app to remap the context menu key to the right control key. Key #64 is the one you want to change to right control.
Great review as always! Okay, I do graphic design, digital art, caricatures, some photography work (editing etc) I currently use a 2nd generation iPad Pro 10.5in. I was owing to switch over to a 12.9in iPad Pro for more real estate to work on.... I currently use apps like Affinity Designer/and Photo, Autodesk Sketch, Concepts, and a few other apps only available for a tablet and IOS.... The ones mentioned I can also get in full desktop software.. I have been considering giving up the iPad and going to a full computer and have been looking heavily into getting either the Surface Pro, or SurfaceBook 2. So I could still have the portability, the ability to draw on screen, but still have the full power of a computer for other things, like video creation and editing (i at times create videos for clients using animated software like GoAnimate and animaker) I do NOT do video creation often anymore, but is always an option at times and to be honest I do not like carrying multiple devices (my current laptop is on old 2009 slow as heck MacBook Pro) I do not do enough video creation work to justify switching for only that purpose... I know I am in love with the Surface Studio and have dreams of getting that in the near future, so I am considering the surface pro/book for my portable device to keep it all within the same family and easier to go from one to other when doing design work... So the surface pro i like because it is more of a tablet, thinner and seems easier to work with on the go...BUT the surface book has the dedicated graphics, but would still have to carry a Bluetooth keyboard for short cut access, is the keyboard for the surface pro Bluetooth connectable also when I have that unattached? So in your opinion, switching from an iPad Pro to one of these for the type of work I do, which one would you overall recommend? Keep in mind I will be getting the highest specs machine regardless which one I go with. Or do you recommend simply staying with an iPad Pro and continue using the app versions mentioned above (but switch to the 12.9) Thanks in advance for reading this long comment and you reply
You may do better with the Surface Book 2 since it is going to be significantly faster compared to the 2009 MBP you have. And you can do digital art, photography faster on a proper computer. With the SB2, you have a larger screen and faster computer. With the 12.9, you'll just have a larger screen. The SB2 keyboard is not wireless. So you'll probably need another wireless keyboard.
Please don’t buy any surface products, software has many issues, they update it regularly, whenever new updates comes the system fails in many other hardware things...for me in last update and the keyboard and mouse stopped working...customer service is worst. Doesn’t worth the money we pay to those people!!!
I just can't get over how much reflection shows on the screen. It's ridiculous or else I would justify spending so much on it. I think a matte screen protector would help some here though, but IDK.
the key that replaces the control key is standard but shouldn't replace it I use it quite a bit when doing lots of typing but its a bit dumb that there is no L ctrl but for me when looking for a keyboard that key is a must as it helps so much especially on a laptop with a trackpad FYI that key performs a right-click on the position of the cursor/selected
Hi, I’m really trying to decide between this and an iPad Pro 12.9 I’m a business student and drawing as a hobby, so I was trying to decide between the two. For a student who likes to draw a lot on his free time, which would you recommend?
If you're still shopping, consider the Surface Pro instead. The Surface Book is so expensive because of its discrete GPU in the keyboard, and because of the hinge. These things aren't necessary for some. The Surface Pro has all of the benefits of a tablet, but also runs an actual operating system, not iOS.
@McBossBrine I don't trust you because I have never have a problem with windows 10. You are intimating that there are so many problems that it is unusable. Yep you are deliberately lying and therefore totally untrustworthy.
Hi Teoh, I got the 15” model and almost everything seems fine, but the screen after an hour of work gets really hot, to the point that it is not comfortable to draw on it, I check the processors' thermals but they seem ok, not exceeding the 68 c on some complex illustrations. So, I was wondering g if you experience something similar or perhaps is it just a problem with my unit?.
I'd like to have the back stand feature of Surface Pro. I don't need the key board, I'd rather use the external key board. I need to cover the tablet screen. Well, I hope they make 13.5 inch Surface pro.
Does it have any graphics card disconnection problems? I've heard that the graphics card gets disconnected spontaneously and many ppl have had to return the SB2 because it kept getting that problem.
I am a Graphic Design student in my senior year. I don't think I will ever really be delving much into video or animation. I have a Microsoft Surface Book currently and I've been enjoying it, but eventually, I will need to get a new laptop. Do you have a laptop/tablet that you would reccomend? I will not deny that some of my Adobe Illustrator files can become rather... large and I sometimes feel that my Surface Book struggles with the amount of stuff going on... Random note: Also, I just recently learned that using the Fn button allows the use of keyboard shortcuts. So I'm going to learn those now!
@@teohyc well, I only got my Surface Book last year, it's still pretty new, so I'll have at least another few years to see what Microsoft comes up with next. And by then I'll have graduated and hopefully with a decent job as a graphic designer.
great review Teoh! too bad Microsoft is not present in my country, so even if I bought one, I have to go to Singapore to claim warranty or any of their services :(
Can I ask, do u had or have any thermal issues with your SB2? My SB2 will underclock itself to 0.4Ghz almost every time when my CPU is used more heavily (about 70% and more). I tried to undervolt it (- 110mV CPU, -80mV GPU), didn´t help, I tried to disable DB PROCHOT sensor, speed shift to 128, totally disable TB, nothing. I tried to set a TDP to 35W from 20W, nothing changed. I monitor my temps and this is happening even when my CPU is under 60C and XTU is showing me that it is not Thermal throttling but power limit throttling... Also, my SB2 is sometimes not able to go to sleep mode or will wake up on its own. Thanks for the answer.
I'm currently an illustration student and I'm currently torn between the intel graphics model and the nvidia model I mainly use Clip Studio Paint to draw, rarely photoshop or indesign unless it's for uni assignments. I'm looking at value for portability as an outdoors alternative to my home desktop (8th gen i5, 16GB, GTX 1060) for when I can't work from home such as being in class or travelling afar. Would the intel graphics model be enough or will I be missing out? EDIT: I'd like to ask if the Surface Pro 6 would be a better budget alternative if I'm not going for the nvidia model
Hello! Since im using powerfull softwares as photoshop and the surface starts to warm up, while im using the surface pen, the palm rejection stop working when the surface book 2 is connected to the power adapter or a usb-c HDMI adapter, but only if it is resting totally horizontal (my desk). do you have any problem like this? I would greatly appreciate your response.
Did you compare the 4k video editing rendering times on 13.5" vs 15"? How much does the 4GB upgraded graphics card in the 15" make a difference? I hope Microsoft updates the Surface Book this year to give it a more powerful CPU. It seems like the best all-around 2-in-1 with dedicated graphics, but some components are really out of date. Please add Thunderbolt 3!
So hypothetically, even if I got the Surface Book 2 with all the bells and whistles - 15" display, 16gb memory, core i7 processor, 1tb storage... Would Photoshop still experience lag/redraw issues? I really love the look and functionality of the Surface Book 2 but I want it to perform well.
Great video man! Do you have any tip for when drawing/writing in tablet mode? the notification center, taskbar and taskview keep appearing when my hand is on the edge of the screen
This is the best review I've seen. Hundreds of "reviewers" all over UA-cam saying the same damn thing. This guys here who actually uses the device and can really tell you what you want to hear based on his real work experience.

@Jin amarasinghe the best one Photoshop.. lol which iPad cannot use
Jin Amarasinghe Morpheus is wrong, the best is clip studio paint, it’s made for manga creators
Me too I have it too but sometimes I find it bit sensitive since it has touch screen mode with soo many luxurious functions still gettin to know it although I got it when it came out in the market
I read many people saying it's laggy with photoshop... Any insight ?

Thanks. I try my best 😁

Hi Penelope; I agree. I went from a MacBook pro 15inch to Surface BK2. I almost cried lol. It's SO MUCH BETTER! Apple used to be about innovation, but MS has totally beat them I believe. I love my Surface and will never ever go back to Mac.

Welcome :-)
A couple of things: 1. Pen jitter is DEFINITELY still present in this device. It is using the same Ntrig tech for the pen. The reason you don't see in it your Medibang demo is because you have "stroke smoothing" turned on. 2. The performance of the device can be dramatically affected when connected to the keyboard/dock if you have the device with a discrete GPU. The GPU is in the keyboard/dock. So depending on the app you're using and/or your settings, this may be something that you want to consider.
extremely good review, thank you very very much !
Great review. When the Surface Book 3 comes out please compare the 2 to the 3!
I just watched this video and I must say I watched till the end. It's an incredible review! Nice efforts 👍
Well done and very informative! Thanks so much for sharing!
NO DIAGONAL JITTER! Time to start saving my money..
Huge improvement in this area compared to previous generation. They finally did it, after 5 tries on the Surface Pro. lol
can't say it has not improved , but without you zooming on the canvas, the lines are far from straight
It has jitter...
GompaStyle compared to what I'm using, this is fantastic, though. Heh heh.
Ryno Bones well idk what your using, I was just informing you that he’s wrong and it does have jitter. I draw on my SB2 and at least Photoshop has jitter(haven’t used other programs) it’s pretty bad too. I have to use smoothing to fix it most of the time.
I just ordered 2 rotring fountain pens
yes omg im so happy you reviewed this your like my artist go to review
Nice review and i think the best review of this surface Book 2, your reviews videos is everytime very good :)
I have one question, Do you think the "Acer Switch 3" is good cheap alternative of the surface pro 4 ?
I've not used Acer Switch 3 before so I can't say much. The spec looks a little underpowered. If you just want something to draw on, you can consider the iPad 2018 and Apple Pencil
Very nice presentation, very detailed one.
Totally agree. Scrap the superfluous Xbox controller receiver and shove some Bluetooth into the keyboard. Any serious drawer needs their hotkeys Microsoft!
Thanks for another great video!
when you reconnect the surface to the keyboard (4:05 on the video)...but still in tablet mode does it let you use the graphic card?
As long as the two are attached, you should be able to use the graphics.
Thank you for the thorough review.
Oh is an good choice is good if we want an pc and an alternative option for draw on the screen.
Thanks you
One of the best reviews, Thank you!
I am torn about buying the 13.5" and the 15" 16GB RAM. I am not gonna using it as main workstation for 3D content production, but from time to time when I am not at my working place nor home, I would use it for that purpose (Maya, ZBrush, Substance Designer/Painter, Unreal Engine 4, etc). Would you recommend the 13.5 or display size would be definitely too small using such software?
Thanks for your opinion :)
Depends on how much you value portability. If you get the small model, you can use the money saved to get a large external monitor.
I bought a refurbished one on Amazon for 489 dollars. Good value.
Surface Book 2? Wow
very informative review thanks!
Wish I Own This. You're So Lucky.
Hey, thanks for liking my comment. I also want to own this. But currently I am low on budget.
Marvellous, this is just the insight I needed as an Illustration student. I am seriously considering the 13.5" with 16GB RAM + 512GB storage (or the 15" 256GB), I will be using it solely for the Adobe trio (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). The touchscreen and pen are an extra level which Apple can't offer, hence going for Windows over a MacBook. Do you think the Surface Book 2 is suitable for these conditions? Thank you.
Yes, it should be good enough
Cheers
Very helpful Teoh! With this computer, am I able to upgrade the system?
This can’t be upgraded
One more question - My daily routine consists of Rhino, alias, keyshot along with photoshop, illustrator etc. Which SB2 would you recommend? I am having eyes on SB2 with i7, 512 (Or 256) SSD, 16GB Ram and 6gb nvidia 1060 but waiting for december sales. Please let me know which one will be good for me.
Thanks for the review and big thumbs up !
Do you need the tablet form factor? If not, you can get a normal laptop with better specs for the same money. 512GB storage is good if you have the budget. If not you can get 256GB and get extra storage from Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive. That's 200GB for US$2.99/monthly.
I'm torn between choosing either this surface book 2 or the wacom studio pro 16. Which one would you recommend? Thank you
Same! I just got this Surface book 2 and I'm having reservations. I got the 13" with i5 - 8350U processor. MS spec page says it's quad core so there's contradicting info on that. I used Photoshop and Autodesk in tablet mode and the line has a wiggle to it at normal pressure. With heavy pen pressure it's more smooth. There are no settings for the pen pressure like with Wacom. The display can't be adjusted to reduce the warmth so color presentation is a little off.
I think the higher processor for the surface book 2 is around the same cost as the Wacom... I am not sure which is better, drawing experience or computing diversity. I too want to know which is a better investment!
Also, I barely got 2 hours in tablet mode with Photoshop.
Can you tell me where I can adult coloring books paint by numbers I am color blind and I have a surface boo any ideas?
Unfortunately I don't know of any colouring books that are paint by numbers
Hello Teoh . as someone who work a lot most of the time on the laptop and just doing Lightroom and video editing once in a while and not every day. is it recommend to work on the Microsoft surface pro 7 or you would recommend only on the Book 2? i would go on the i5/8 Giga Ram/ 256 ssd
If you're not going to use the pen much, you should go with a normal laptop.
@@teohyc Thank you for the information! Your channel is super productive and helpful for me
im thinking about either getting this or just a laptop and tablet separately. I will be an animation student soon and I'm unsure if animation will be efficient with a 2 in 1... Any thoughts?
I think this should be powerful enough. If you want to save money, consider a normal laptop with a screenless tablet.
@@teohyc I ended up getting it and its p solid! I'm happy I got it
Hi what program do you use for drawing ?
On Windows usually Clip Studio Paint, Medibang Paint Pro. For tablets I like Concepts.
How is this for architectural work? Is this better or the Zbook 15/17 G5?
HP Zbook is more powerful. The point of Surface Book 2 is the ability to use it as a tablet.
Teoh Yi Chie Yes, it is more powerful but overall build quality, performance and the lifespan of the device matters for me more. Thus, i want to know which one is better regarding these things, especially build quality and lifespan.
I lost the pen😭
Can you please open a textbook A4 size in booth Surface 2 notebooks?
If I'm doing occassional photo editing and regular internet browsing, youtube, etc...should I get this or a macbook? I currently have a 2011 macbook pro that is outdated and not compatible with lightroom.
Either Windows or Mac would work. If you have no specific reason to use Mac (eg use software that run only on Mac), maybe get Windows laptops. The Microsoft ones are good. The 2016 to 2018 MacBook Pro keyboards are prone to failure to the extend that Apple has a free repair program for them. But once that program ends, you're on you own. I doubt those MBP keyboards would last more than three years.
Teoh Yi Chie wow. That’s pretty crazy. I’m gonna go check out a surface book today.
what would you say is the best drawing app I'm wanting to learn but don't know where to start. Also I'm yet to buy a tablet laptop which is best for beginners on a budget?
Sketchable, Medibang Paint Pro, Clip Studio Paint
@@teohyc would the first surface book be any good iv found one at a good price?
@@sarahlou5777 It's best to get one with warranty as these are not easy to service. Then key question to ask is do you need to draw on the screen. If not you might be better off with a laptop. At the same price, you may get a more powerful laptop. Or a laptop and iPad combo if that's within the budget.
Have you tried Clip Studio Paint on it?
Yes it works fine
you are very good! thank you
I want to do animation, would the rendering on this be fast enough to work comfortably?
Should be fast enough.
Teoh Yi Chie appreciate the feedback
Can you test dell Xps 2 in 1 (2018)?
can you charge the tablet separately?
No
Wish I could buy it ...😭😭😭
USB-C WITH THUNDERBOLT IS MISSING - only reason I did not buy this. I WILL WAIT.
Hi how about for Revit or Autocad? isit suitable..
I don't use those so I can't say much. Check out the specification requirement list on those software company website
nice
Tablet format is an awkward way of working only to be suited for freehand illustrators. For UI design and graphic design in general I really prefer a clicker to navigate around my palettes. I've tried a pen but I keep getting tired in my arm as I lift and re-position it repeatedly, also it's an odd way to open palettes and adjust different settings. Anyways, a laptop for graphic intens work is not a very good option. Even a top specked laptop comes short of even a cheap stationary PC. For this amount of money you can get a really powerful stationary that outruns this Surface Book ten times around AND even throw in a proper 27" screen that supports a much better color gamut. Laptop monitors are terrible at Adobe RGB so photo editing is out of the question.
There are some laptops with good AdobeRGB screens. Some of those 4K displays. Expensive of course E.g. Dell XPS
Companies will definately Happy with you and definitely they will give u one piece free... Not for drawing artists
It's a review unit that I have to return
Love your reviews. Companies are smart to request your input as you are respected for your fair and precise reviews. Great Job!
I think the headphone jack is on the screen portion of the computer so that when you are using it as a tablet you can listen to music
Watched this on my surface book 2 15". As a student, digital artist and gamer, I got it for the portability and performance. It's quite a light device with heavy specs but by itself it does have some set backs (nothing major). As I have had my device for quite a long time, I would recommend the following accessories for anyone who is interested in a better experience. Firstly, a BaseQI card reader as these things fit flush into the device and has a great alluminium finish and best of all you get extra storage up to 256GB so you can free up your internal memory, a stand as using it in studio mode can strain your back if you want to draw for hours on end, I have the Xp-Pen Artist10S stand and it fits the 15" screen perfectly and can be adjusted in 1 degree increments, and lastly a bluetooth keyboard and or a Wacom express key remote, this really helps with keyboard shortcuts and makes drawing much more efficient! I hope this helps! Anyway, great review as always Teoh! :)
Lily Vuong Typing all of that for the sake of helping people is just amazing. So, thank you. I have a really important question, how is this machine SB2 15 inch for architectural work? We use a bit heavier software than artists, and i am confused between this machine or the mobile workstation from HP called Zbook 15/17 models.
An extra 400GB now, and for half the price of going the internal storage route ;)
Hey! I've heard a lot of bad stuff about the jitter. So, if you don't mind answering, is it really that bad?
I brought the screen to job interviews (share my work and do some note taking). I also used it for team discussions and quickly Slack the sketches to my team members. When I'm back home, I just attach it back and watch Netflix and do some normal surfing. I recommend you guys to get a tempered glass (9H grade) and cover the front from scratches.
Does the glass cover affect the pen sensitivity though?
Yay Theo!! I asked for a review from you a long time ago and you did it! I did end up buying it some months ago.
The 15-inch version is a lightweight beautiful beast and it has helped me tremendously as a student, artist, gamer and web-surfer. The only thing I wished it could do is allow us to use the keyboard detached from the screen.
I bought the Dial and honestly I don't use it - it's way too limited. What was that model of Logitech keyboard you were using? I really need one too for shortcuts.
That’s a Logitech K810. It’s out of production so some sellers are selling at higher than usual prices. You can look for other wireless Bluetooth keyboards from Logitech. Could be cheaper. Look for one that has a Ctrl button on the right side. That’s very important.
4:15 can't you just flip the display upside down and angle the laptop the other way?
The screen can only fit in two configurations, the normal laptop mode, and the mode that covers the keyboard. It can't flip over like those flip-able laptops where the screen and keyboard are facing opposite direction.
@@teohyc Check out 'View Mode'
@@teohyc It actually has four configurations: the two you mentioned, the tablet mode without the keyboard, and the one you'll be happy to know about, View Mode. You can lock the SB onto the keyboard with the screen facing OUT, like a reverse laptop-mode, and the hinge will offer the control you can't find in the other configurations.
Ewan Matthews he literally said that in his comment. The mode that the SB2 can’t do is having both the screen and keyboard facing out simultaneously like a hybrid laptop
@@jwright7117 I don't believe that's what the (edit: original) comment was about, but indeed Teoh did later mention that a true bluetooth keyboard would have been better. But the comment in the context of the video was on flipping the screen on its vertical axis in order to get a good drawing position.
Great review, Teoh! Comprehensive. I *think* you can use free software like Karabiner to change the menu key into a control key. Quad core is preferable, but still an impressive machine. MS has taken after Apple with their maddeningly slow spec bumps.
Every single reviewer should have a table of contents like that.
Great machine, I just miss the damn Thunderbolt 3 to plug 1 external gpu for renderings
This is the best review i'm looking for!!
How do you feel about the 13 i7 256gb 8gb Ram? Is it smooth enough for you to working on Ai or Ae? :) I'm struggling 8 or 16 Ram because of the price now.
I basically using Ai Ps Xd for routine work, Ae, blender 3D few times in a month.
8GB is alright but 16GB is preferred if you work a lot
6:10 is that the fan that I hear running in the background? Also, have you done a video comparing the stylus that comes with the Microsoft Surface Book and the Apple Pencil? I only have used an iPad but I'm really curious about the Surface Book. Thanks! :)
Lol. That noise is from a small tram and track outside my place. As for Surface Pen vs Apple Pencil, the closest video is probably this one ua-cam.com/video/e_jByGG77K8/v-deo.html
Teoh Yi Chie 🙈 Thank you for the link - I really enjoy all your videos, I will check it out!
After following your suggestions and watching over and over your review, at the end i decided to buy the SB2 15" 256GB, just one week ago.
Great machine, but I have a sort of issue with the batteries which last really too short. I am afraid that I got defective ones.
Using Photoshop I can barely hit 3 hours, even disabling the Nvidia GPU and using Photoshop with the Intel Integrated chip. It's weird because doing a video playback test, after 10 hours the battery was around 40%, so basically it could go on for 15-17 hours of video playback, same result claimed by Microsoft.
But it seems that as soon as I do some slightly heavier task, even though not that much like retouching some picture in Photoshop, batteries drain immediately. Doing something more heavy like 3D with Maya, Megascans and Substance Suite, batteries last for around 1 and half hour.
You said that overall they should last 7-10 hours, so I guess you mean also doing some PS work, right? In my case, 3 hours are way too less.
That's very strange, maybe check your task manager and check the processor activity. I'm not sure why this happens. Maybe ask on Adobe forums or Reddit. But using graphic software definitely drains battery much faster. Also try using Google Chrome (resource hog) and see if the battery drains fast too.
Did you find out why? Was it broken?
This review was excellent! I am looking at this computer as a at-home machine to do graphic design work for days I don't go into the office and this covered all my questions. I'm sold!!
Can't you put the screen on backwards and fold it in half to get a "stand"?
Lags are normal because thé screen is not connected With grafic card When It turned back
The 15 in is a great size I’ve heard you can’t work on Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop if you detatch the screen from the keyboard. It has to remain as one if you have it with the screen at a 90degree angle, it’s awkward to use the pen to draw. If you flip it, then you lose the keyboard functionality. With both programs, keyboard short cuts are essential. I don’t know why they didn’t add a small detached side keyboard for shortcuts for artists. And not having the control key on the right is extremely awkward. The flatness is also problematic. I would like a lightweight accessory to adjust the tilt of the tablet when using it without the keyboard or flipped so you can use the keyboard. They really should have put another USB port in and the earphone insert should have been bottom right on the touch pad. Lifting the top up and down feels flimsy or delicate. I really think they didn’t run this by graphic arts people enough because these are very obvious issues an computer artist would point out. I’ve also heard they have had issues with the GPU and aren’t responding to them. Other than that, I think it’s the best computer laptop on the market. The price is too high by around $400. I love the keys, the screen and the silver material and design. I wish I didn’t feel it was too delicate to port around, but the slippery material has no rubbery cushion on the sides or top or rubbery footsteps anywhere and the hing might be sturdy but it does wobbly going up or down. And again no adjustable kickstand or Bluetooth graphics shortcut keypad. I also wish they’d had a Wacom brush as well as Wacom pens to use. And maybe some primary programmable click notches shortcut buttons on pen would help like select drag undo and paint. Let’s go product design people!
Hello, you seem very knowledgable on this computer. I wonder if you can help me? I need to buy a new laptop to replace my current 15" MacBook Pro. I work primarily with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator doing infographics, for posters, brochures, etc. as well as logos and billboards/pull-up banners using photo files. I am starting a business doing event planning and would like to design invitations with hand-drawn artwork. I was therefore looking to purchase a surface book 2 rather than replacing my MacBook with the newer touch bar model AND buying a separate iPad so i can use procreate. But I have been seeing a lot of forums saying that the Surface Book 2 does not perform well and has a lot of issues with Adobe Illustrator and Indesign. I don't mind using it with the keyboard and trackpad (as i'm doing this with my current laptop anyways). I don't really need the pen for those two. I'll probably get an app thats dedicated to just drawing anyways. Can you please advice if I should get this computer and how well it performs with Illustrator and Indesign? Does it make more sense than a MacBook? Thanks so much. Sorry for the long message.
I would recommend staying with a MacBook when using adobe suite. I'm been using a 15' MacBook pro 2014 for my architecture degree. It's amazing for that. @@856fatt
@@drewvera86 thank you for the response.
You said photo editing is slower than some other, what other computer or tablet
do you mean?
It's going to be slower compared to desktop of similar specs. Actually there are many factors that affect photo export time. How fast the processor is, whether there is enough cooling for the processor to boost and hold its max speed, and the software you use (lightroom 5.6 is slower than CC when exporting). In terms of photo editing, Surface Book 2 still does a good job for its price.
You should be able to use the KeyTweak app to remap the context menu key to the right control key. Key #64 is the one you want to change to right control.
Thank you for a great review! You comprehensive explanation of the details were very much appreciated!
This was incredibly helpful. The best review video I've seen for this. Thank You!!
Great review as always! Okay, I do graphic design, digital art, caricatures, some photography work (editing etc) I currently use a 2nd generation iPad Pro 10.5in. I was owing to switch over to a 12.9in iPad Pro for more real estate to work on.... I currently use apps like Affinity Designer/and Photo, Autodesk Sketch, Concepts, and a few other apps only available for a tablet and IOS.... The ones mentioned I can also get in full desktop software.. I have been considering giving up the iPad and going to a full computer and have been looking heavily into getting either the Surface Pro, or SurfaceBook 2. So I could still have the portability, the ability to draw on screen, but still have the full power of a computer for other things, like video creation and editing (i at times create videos for clients using animated software like GoAnimate and animaker) I do NOT do video creation often anymore, but is always an option at times and to be honest I do not like carrying multiple devices (my current laptop is on old 2009 slow as heck MacBook Pro) I do not do enough video creation work to justify switching for only that purpose... I know I am in love with the Surface Studio and have dreams of getting that in the near future, so I am considering the surface pro/book for my portable device to keep it all within the same family and easier to go from one to other when doing design work... So the surface pro i like because it is more of a tablet, thinner and seems easier to work with on the go...BUT the surface book has the dedicated graphics, but would still have to carry a Bluetooth keyboard for short cut access, is the keyboard for the surface pro Bluetooth connectable also when I have that unattached? So in your opinion, switching from an iPad Pro to one of these for the type of work I do, which one would you overall recommend? Keep in mind I will be getting the highest specs machine regardless which one I go with. Or do you recommend simply staying with an iPad Pro and continue using the app versions mentioned above (but switch to the 12.9) Thanks in advance for reading this long comment and you reply
You may do better with the Surface Book 2 since it is going to be significantly faster compared to the 2009 MBP you have. And you can do digital art, photography faster on a proper computer. With the SB2, you have a larger screen and faster computer. With the 12.9, you'll just have a larger screen. The SB2 keyboard is not wireless. So you'll probably need another wireless keyboard.
I want to know can I use the SB2 in studio mode (with screen on top side) along with NVidia 1060 graphics card to work on Pshop?
Yes
Please don’t buy any surface products, software has many issues, they update it regularly, whenever new updates comes the system fails in many other hardware things...for me in last update and the keyboard and mouse stopped working...customer service is worst. Doesn’t worth the money we pay to those people!!!
Do you guys think it’s worth to buy the SB2 at the end of 2019 for a reduced price or should I wait for SB3??
Best to wait for SB3
Do you think there will be a SB3?
@@Choice7890 I think so. Microsoft seems pretty committed to their Surface line.
I just can't get over how much reflection shows on the screen. It's ridiculous or else I would justify spending so much on it. I think a matte screen protector would help some here though, but IDK.
Thank you for a very good review. Your review is the best I have seen.
Thanks
the key that replaces the control key is standard but shouldn't replace it I use it quite a bit when doing lots of typing but its a bit dumb that there is no L ctrl
but for me when looking for a keyboard that key is a must as it helps so much especially on a laptop with a trackpad
FYI that key performs a right-click on the position of the cursor/selected
Thanks for this review, I'm getting a Surface Book 2. I guess it's safe to also get Affinity Designer.
Hi, I’m really trying to decide between this and an iPad Pro 12.9
I’m a business student and drawing as a hobby, so I was trying to decide between the two. For a student who likes to draw a lot on his free time, which would you recommend?
If you already have a computer, iPad Pro is the better choice, and cheaper.
If you're still shopping, consider the Surface Pro instead. The Surface Book is so expensive because of its discrete GPU in the keyboard, and because of the hinge. These things aren't necessary for some. The Surface Pro has all of the benefits of a tablet, but also runs an actual operating system, not iOS.
@McBossBrine I don't trust you because I have never have a problem with windows 10. You are intimating that there are so many problems that it is unusable. Yep you are deliberately lying and therefore totally untrustworthy.
Hi Teoh, I got the 15” model and almost everything seems fine, but the screen after an hour of work gets really hot, to the point that it is not comfortable to draw on it, I check the processors' thermals but they seem ok, not exceeding the 68 c on some complex illustrations. So, I was wondering g if you experience something similar or perhaps is it just a problem with my unit?.
It does get warm because they are using powerful processors on the tablet portion.
that doesnt happen to me .. do you draw with the screen plug in to the keybord?
I'd like to have the back stand feature of Surface Pro.
I don't need the key board, I'd rather use the external key board.
I need to cover the tablet screen.
Well, I hope they make 13.5 inch Surface pro.
Excellent review, thank you
Thanks 😁
Does it have any graphics card disconnection problems? I've heard that the graphics card gets disconnected spontaneously and many ppl have had to return the SB2 because it kept getting that problem.
I am a Graphic Design student in my senior year. I don't think I will ever really be delving much into video or animation. I have a Microsoft Surface Book currently and I've been enjoying it, but eventually, I will need to get a new laptop. Do you have a laptop/tablet that you would reccomend? I will not deny that some of my Adobe Illustrator files can become rather... large and I sometimes feel that my Surface Book struggles with the amount of stuff going on...
Random note:
Also, I just recently learned that using the Fn button allows the use of keyboard shortcuts. So I'm going to learn those now!
If you enjoy your Surface Book, why not get Surface Book 2? But I'm not sure if this new model is significantly better than your current one though
@@teohyc well, I only got my Surface Book last year, it's still pretty new, so I'll have at least another few years to see what Microsoft comes up with next. And by then I'll have graduated and hopefully with a decent job as a graphic designer.
I lost the original pen of MSB2, can anyonw recommend me a cheaper option ? I can not afford the original one
renaisser.com
Honestly speaking this is ridiculous money. You can have this, as a laptop and a tablet and you would get more for 600-700 USD.
great review Teoh! too bad Microsoft is not present in my country, so even if I bought one, I have to go to Singapore to claim warranty or any of their services :(
Can I ask, do u had or have any thermal issues with your SB2? My SB2 will underclock itself to 0.4Ghz almost every time when my CPU is used more heavily (about 70% and more). I tried to undervolt it (- 110mV CPU, -80mV GPU), didn´t help, I tried to disable DB PROCHOT sensor, speed shift to 128, totally disable TB, nothing. I tried to set a TDP to 35W from 20W, nothing changed. I monitor my temps and this is happening even when my CPU is under 60C and XTU is showing me that it is not Thermal throttling but power limit throttling... Also, my SB2 is sometimes not able to go to sleep mode or will wake up on its own. Thanks for the answer.
I don't have that issue. Maybe ask on Reddit
You have excellent ideas for future surface book 3 👍🏻
Can i use corel draw x 6 on this? I need a device only for coreldraw x6
You can
what program are you using for your art work?
I'm currently an illustration student and I'm currently torn between the intel graphics model and the nvidia model
I mainly use Clip Studio Paint to draw, rarely photoshop or indesign unless it's for uni assignments. I'm looking at value for portability as an outdoors alternative to my home desktop (8th gen i5, 16GB, GTX 1060) for when I can't work from home such as being in class or travelling afar. Would the intel graphics model be enough or will I be missing out?
EDIT: I'd like to ask if the Surface Pro 6 would be a better budget alternative if I'm not going for the nvidia model
If it's just Clip Studio Paint, the Surface Pro is good enough, and performs well with that app for drawing.
Hello! Since im using powerfull softwares as photoshop and the surface starts to warm up, while im using the surface pen, the palm rejection stop working when the surface book 2 is connected to the power adapter or a usb-c HDMI adapter, but only if it is resting totally horizontal (my desk). do you have any problem like this?
I would greatly appreciate your response.
I no longer have the review unit so I can't test that anymore.
Did you compare the 4k video editing rendering times on 13.5" vs 15"? How much does the 4GB upgraded graphics card in the 15" make a difference? I hope Microsoft updates the Surface Book this year to give it a more powerful CPU. It seems like the best all-around 2-in-1 with dedicated graphics, but some components are really out of date. Please add Thunderbolt 3!
I did not compared the two for video editing unfortunately
So hypothetically, even if I got the Surface Book 2 with all the bells and whistles - 15" display, 16gb memory, core i7 processor, 1tb storage... Would Photoshop still experience lag/redraw issues? I really love the look and functionality of the Surface Book 2 but I want it to perform well.
Yeah, it's going to have the screen redraw issue with Photoshop for some reason even though the specs are perfectly powerful enough to run Photoshop.
Great video man! Do you have any tip for when drawing/writing in tablet mode? the notification center, taskbar and taskview keep appearing when my hand is on the edge of the screen
Not sure about that. Maybe search online. I’m sure there is a solution.
日本人のみなさん、SURFACE BOOKは買ってはいけません。CPUが低電力で速度が出ません。
Thank you!
Which app you use
