Surface Book 3
The Surface Book with the touch display and the 3:2 aspect ratio is considered to be a productivity machine. The specs also agree with the claims. It is basically capable of everything like video editing, graphics rendering, playing games, drawing with pen support. The unique hinge design gave it the name in the first place which made it a stand-alone tablet and with the bottom half which houses a dedicated graphics processor, it gave extra power and battery life when needed. The detachable hinge makes it a very versatile device capable of morphing to positions that are not possible with a conventional hinge.
The Surface Book has been updated to the latest 10th gen intel processors and Nvidia 16 series GPU. The Design od the device has not changed much. The 13" starts at $1600 and can be configured up to 32GB RAM and 2TB storage with intel core i7 and GTX 1650. The 15" starts at $1600 and can be configured up to 32GB RAM with 2TB storage and intel core i7 and Nvidia GTX 1660Ti.
Surface Go 2
The Surface Go series was built keeping in mind the portability and more battery life. The surface go has an intel gold processor in the base model with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage. And it runs a stripped-down version of Windows 10 which is the S mode. In this S mode only apps from the store work and the preinstalled apps. But it can be easily upgraded to full windows easily. It is a great device starting at $400 as it is a better option than any chrome book as it has full windows so not just stuck on the chrome extensions and the apps on the store. The full windows offer a more evolved ecosystem of software and the Surface devices have made a name for themselves for the hardware quality and the touch experience.
Compared to the last generation of surface go, the form factor has not changed but the bezzles have got much smaller. There is a 64% performance boost and the cameras and mic system have improved
Even with the 64% performance boost with just the Windows Store apps, it gives a compelling competition to the iPad 10.2 inch in the US as the $329 iPad is better in terms of the app ecosystem. While both the devices perform at a different level in terms of performance the device choice will greatly depend on the use case and the ecosystem preference. The Surface Go 2 can be configured up to Intel core M3 with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage at $730.
