Microsoft is set to release the Surface Book 2 13.5in in the UK, with the device now available for pre-order from the Microsoft Online Store or the ever-awkwardly-named CurrysPCWorld. To see what the Surface Book 2 looks like in detail, click on the images above.
The Surface Book 2 is Microsoft’s laptop-cum-tablet, with a detachable screen making the device less cumbersome to hold than flippy-flappy laptops when in tablet mode. The screen does still fully rotate, however, so if you can’t be bothered to detach the screen or want a nice stand for watching movies on the train/plane, you can do that too.
The device comes in four different price configurations (as listed below), starting from £1,499 inc VAT right through to a ludicrous £2,999 model. The cheapest configuration comes with an older seventh-generation Intel processor and internal graphics, while all the rest get the latest eighth-generation processor and a dedicated graphics GPU.
Other stores won’t start stocking the device until mid-February, so you will have to hold on if you’re hoping that the likes of Amazon will drive the price down.
