To illustrate that point, the chart below shows how the Surface Book i7 compares to a stack of the best laptops around. With truckloads of laptops now using Intel’s 7th-gen Kaby Lake CPUs, you’re probably wondering why Microsoft “pulled an Apple” and went with an older processor. (We received a model with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, which can be found on Amazon for $3,300).įor hardware addicts, that CPU is a disappointment. It’s paired with 8GB and 16GB LPDDR3 options, as well as an SSD from 256GB to 1TB. Behind the screen there’s an Intel dual-core 6th-gen Skylake Core i7-6600U. The PixelSense screen is the same IPS panel with 3000×2000 resolution.
In fact, from what I can tell, nothing has changed externally. The Surface Book’s tablet looks identical to the previous version. In fact, it looks unchanged from last year’s (above). Love it or hate it, it’s still there in the latest Surface Book i7. There were rumors Microsoft would give up on its “dynamic fulcrum hinge” and eliminate the gap it creates, but nah, it’s still there and remains one of the most prominent features of the Surface Book i7.īam. The two sides are held together with that same crazy hinge found on the first Surface Book. The keyboard base (aka the Performance Base) is home to a discrete graphics chip, which takes the Surface Book’s performance beyond that of any other laptop in its class.
