Microsoft Surface Book 2

www.microsoft.com/en-au | From $2,199

The Surface Book 2 is sees the return of the detachable 13.5-inch tablet alongside a matching keyboard base. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 GPU that’s in the base means it’s good for a bit of gaming, but what that chip’s really intended for is GPU-accelerated media rendering and encoding. The Book 2’s battery life is also admirable, ranging from 7 to 10 hours — something that’s helped along by that second battery underneath the keyboard. Without that, the runtime’s cut in half, which is still not bad for a large-screen tablet — you can get a lot of work done in that time.
