罕逢敌手。 它在性能上毋庸置疑,而同时也提供了超过10小时的惊人续航时间。Book可以轻松击败竞争对手。不过出自同门的Surface Pro 4 酷睿i7和i5机型都紧随其后——除了电池续航之外,这让人十分意外。

The Microsoft Surface Book is one of the best Windows 10 devices we’ve ever seen and tested, and one of the most influential. Thanks to its powerful components, stunning 3,000 x 2,000 display, and that brilliantly-designed Dynamic Fulcrum hinge, it has certainly more than earned its place in the history of portables.

By gracing it with top-tier processors, a responsive touchscreen, pen functionality and a versatile design, Microsoft has squarely aimed the Surface Book at the same creative audiences who flock to Apple’s stores to buy the iconic MacBook Pro. For some the Surface Book will undoubtedly be the more appropriate tool for the job, but despite the competency of this device, the biggest challenge it faces is convincing consumers that it’s the better option.

The Surface Book is another solution to the 2-in-1 transforming laptop. Detachable hybrids or hinged, we have to wonder whether Microsoft et al are striving to solve a problem that even exists. And with all the evidence so far, whether it's the Lenovo Yoga 900 with its 'watchband' hinge or Asus with its earth magnets on the Transformer Book T300 Chi, Microsoft's 'fulcrum' hinge is clever but not without some niggles.

The Surface Book is a very good laptop, especially as a first effort from Microsoft, with plenty of finely designed components and elements coming together nicely (in spite of the various software bugs) to make a sleek, powerful and desirable computer. We can’t recommend it unconditionally though unless you have deep pockets.

80% You probably can't afford one
Source: PC Pro English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
But, just like we saw with the Surface tablets, it’s going to take at least one more revision before Microsoft completely nails the design. Even now, it is tantalisingly close to my idea of a perfect Windows laptop, but on a device this good, the flaws stick out like a sore thumb. Personally, I’d want Thunderbolt 3, a better GPU, a faster quad-core CPU, and although battery life is superb in laptop mode, I definitely want better battery life from the tablet. I’m a hard task-master.

For those who do take that leap, though, it's certainly no gamble: the Surface Book is a sophisticated and stand-out hybrid device in many senses, one that, in our review sample case, has ironed out the majority of issues that affected the earlier US release. It's yet another high brow Windows machine to put on the shortlist, if, that is, you've got the cash to afford one.

Although the Surface Book isn’t quite the slam dunk you might assume it to be, that’s almost to be expected. There’s a good reason why Microsoft took three decades to create its own laptop, and that’s because it’s a tough job to get right. So why bother?

The Surface Book is the best Windows 10 laptop I’ve tested. It features a wealth of top-end hardware within a slim, travel-friendly chassis, as well as a solid, well-connected keyboard dock. Thanks to the inclusion of the dock's optional Nvidia GPU, the Surface Book also smokes most competing Ultrabooks, like the Lenovo Yoga 900 or Dell XPS 13, when it comes to performance. If money is no object, this is the best Windows 10 laptop you can get.

80% Microsoft Surface Book review - the ultimate Windows 10 laptop?
Source: Expert Reviews English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
There’s no doubt that the Microsoft Surface Book is a stunning piece of engineering. As Microsoft’s inaugural laptop that doubles as a tablet, it’s a device the company can be proud of. In terms of design, it’s by far my favourite Windows laptop, and it marries a lot of the Surface Pro 4's best features with more practical design choices taken from Apple’s MacBooks and Google’s Chromebook Pixel. The touchpad in particular is the best I’ve used on a Windows laptop.

85% Surface Book Review
Source: IGN English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
While the Surface Pro 4 is a tablet that can replace your laptop, the Surface Book is a laptop first and works as a tablet for certain tasks. It won’t replace your Android tablet or iPad, but it’s not supposed it. It’s a killer laptop that’s great for professionals and people just looking for a laptop that does more. The base Surface Book starts at a reasonable $1,499, but other configurations can go all the way up to $3,199. Microsoft has its sights aimed squarely at the 13-inch Macbook Pro, claiming three times the performance with the Surface Book’s dedicated graphics. However, with price taken into account, the Surface Book actually slots in between the 13 and 15-inch MacBook Pro, offering more power than the 13-inch MacBook Pro, but less than the 15-inch model. Of course, neither MacBook works as a tablet.

90% The verdict on Microsoft's first notebook
Source: Good Gear Guide English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Carrying the Surface Book under one arm is done with the Microsoft badge facing outwards; it’s done with a sense of pride. If only the review would end there, but imagine what Microsoft could do if it didn’t have to pop the computing hardware in the screen and bother with a thick hinge. Imagine if Microsoft poured the same blood, sweat and tears into a dedicated notebook.

Windows 2-in-1s are always a compromise, as we noted in our Surface Pro 4 review, you don't get the very best tablet possible or the very best laptop. As a tablet, the relatively large screen, pen, light weight and slim dimensions still make Surface Book one of the better tablets on the market. It's also one of the most powerful among tablets and 2-in-1s, but it's not nearly one of the most powerful laptops similar money could buy.

The Surface Book has attracted a lot of attention in the Digital Trends office. People ask about the hinge, and the display, and then the price. They’re always shocked to learn that it starts at $1,500, and I can’t understand why. We had the opportunity to test the base model along with this more powerful Core i7, and we found it’s also a miniature powerhouse.

For all the launch day excitement it caused, Surface Book will inevitably be a niche product. As the standard bearer for a new architecture of modular graphics, though, it may be in Microsoft's better interests in the long run if, Nexus-style, other OEMs see what's been done and experiment with the same approach themselves.

大体上,这个屏幕尺寸常见于亚笔记本电脑,超极本和变形本中。对这三类产品来说这个尺寸都较大。亚笔记本中尺寸最大的机型是采用这个屏幕尺寸。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
