However, gaming performance will still be mediocre by then, since the GTX 1050-equipped variants barely managed to breach a 30FPS to 40FPS average in many titles. The latter isn’t particularly powerful by today’s standards, but it will help the aforementioned workloads tremendously. Video rendering and some tasks in Photoshop also takes a bit more time, so getting the i7 variant with a GTX 1050 might be beneficial for you. Gaming isn’t ideal in this trim since there is no GPU and the RAM slightly borders on the bare minimum for most modern titles. Even basic photo editing and post-processing are doable, although larger image files may take slightly longer to load. Office apps and browsers usually open with minimal wait times, and they function smoothly without any jitters or hang-ups. Our variant with an i5 8350U and 8GB of RAM works great with the kind of workloads we usually do for Monitornerds. These scores are substantially better than what the closest competitor offers, giving the advantage to this model. The screen produces up to 130% of the sRGB gamut with a maximum brightness of 375 cd/m2, placing it right next to the best monitors we tested. One noticeable characteristic of the Microsoft Surface Book 2’s display is it is very vibrant with punchy colors. 4K movies look great on it even if the aspect ratio and pixels don’t match, so images and your artwork will surely be equally eye-popping. The screen looks comparable to Apple’s Retina displays, offering fantastic clarity and details for any type of image output. The Microsoft Surface Book 2 sports a 13.5-inch PixelSense Display with a 3000 x 2000 resolution and a whopping 267 pixels per inch. There is a pair of speakers on the front of the tablet, but they could use a boost in volume to go with its decent clarity. Having a wired audio connection is invaluable due to numerous factors such as audio quality, but Bluetooth audio equipment is much easier to use. Its also worth noting that the Microsoft Surface Book 2’s 3.5mm jack is on the upper half, so using wired ear or headphones means you will have a dangling cable in front of you. The two Surface Connect ports can charge the device or transfer data, but you need an adapter for the latter.
There is also a full-sized SDXC card reader along with it, and two USB 3.1 type-A slots on the opposite side. Connectivity on the Microsoft Surface Book 2 is great since it includes a USB-C 3.1 slot which can allow the device to dock with a USB-C monitor.
