[PConline stand-alone evaluation] Surface Book was released in October 2015, it triggered a lively discussion, it is not the appearance of the product itself, what is the highlight, but Microsoft in a two-in-one product with a separate graphics card This idea is very bold.

It has been more than a year since the Surface Book was launched. In the past year, numerous manufacturers have launched their own two-in-one devices, and the one-in-one product with a discrete graphics card still has only one. What is the best two-in-one product in 2015 and what will it look like in 2017?
Microsoft changes the future?The Surface Book enhanced version is made of composite metal materials in its entirety, and the silver color of the body is matched with the matte-finished surface to make the hand feel delicate. The Microsoft Logo in the middle of the A side is also a sign of the Surface series, but due to the overly squared shape, it is often ridiculed by netizens as "Tian" brand notebooks.
The Surface Book Plus is a two-in-one product that uses a hinged design to connect the keyboard and tablet sections. The exquisite workmanship gives people a sense of satisfaction when they turn.
Since the screen can be used as a tablet alone, then in the use of the scene, Surface Book Enhanced and Lenovo YOGA also has 4 different modes of use: notebook mode, tablet mode, tent mode and standing mode, with the touch pen can have Better use experience.
Surface Book enhanced version of the process is a fierce look is an ordinary notebook, but in dealing with the details of different but different from other products, it seems very futuristic. For example, the keyboard of this product has a downward curvature on both sides of the keyboard, which is more rounded and lighter.
The feel of the keyboard is also very delicate, 1.6-mm key stroke and rebound strength make the use feel very good, and the three-level adjustable backlight also allows users to use accurately at night. At the same time, the area of ​​the palm rest is also very large, and the support of the opponent's wrist is obviously improved. However, since the area of ​​the touchpad is not small, it may be misused when typing.
The whole machine also comes with a stylus pen, which can be absorbed on the left side of the screen when not in use, and is very firm. This stylus has excellent delay and accuracy control, and it's a good experience, especially for users who need to draw.
Previous Surface series products have a thin body, and the enhanced version of this Surface Book is not the same. Although a two-in-one product, the Surface Book Plus, which compromised on performance, looks similar in size to the MacBook Pro. After actual measurement, the weight of the plate is 0.725Kg, and the weight of the whole machine is 1.646Kg. Although the weight of the whole machine is not considered to be extremely thin, you will be very satisfied with its configuration.
This futuristic Surface Book enhanced version is very satisfying in terms of details. First, let's introduce its separation method. Using the previous two-in-one product method does not remove the flat part of the Surface Book Plus because it uses a locking mechanism called the Muscle Wire Lock.
The split button on the keyboard can separate the screen during power-on or power-off. The advantage of this design is that when the computer is turned on, it can be determined through the key separation that the user does not need to use a discrete graphics card. This kind of experience always gives people a sense of ritual, and also avoids the mistake of using the discrete graphics card to remove the tablet part.
The Surface Book enhanced version of the screen is a 13.5-inch PixelSense display, the screen ratio is not a common 16:9 ratio, but the use of a 3:2 ratio, a resolution of 3000x2000 3K level, very popular in the design industry, However, there is still some inconvenience in daily use, because the word is really too small. When playing games, it is very inconvenient to adjust the percentage.
The location of the camera is still on the top of the screen. In addition to the normal video features, this enhanced version of the Surface Book also supports a very useful Windows Hello feature, this unlocking method is very simple, even at night can be very fast.
On the back of the fuselage, we often say the A side, also has an 8 million pixel camera, when used as a tablet, can be used to take pictures and video, although not very useful but Microsoft's handling of these areas really It was a pleasant surprise and it also made a good start for the later products.
On the interface side, there are two USB 3.0 interfaces and an SD card reader on the left side of the keyboard section, and a magnetically-charged interface and mini DP interface on the right side.
In the screen section, there is also a headphone microphone combo connector, and at the top there is a power switch and volume adjustment buttons.
To be particularly mentioned, on the power transformer, Microsoft also provided us with a USB interface, although there is no technical difficulty, but this small detail reflects Microsoft's intentions.
The biggest difference between this two-in-one product and other products of the same type lies in the configuration. The Surface Book enhanced version equipped with a GTX 965m graphics card can be viewed from the configuration point of view as an entry-level game book of that era. The i7-6600U processor has absolutely no pressure on the office. What about its game performance? I chose 2 games and common running software to test it.
â— "watch pioneer" "high" quality
"Overwatch" (OW) is a first-person shooter game developed by Blizzard Entertainment, which was launched on May 24, 2016, and is represented by NetEase in mainland China. The game takes the future of the earth as a backdrop, telling the grudges of humanity, guarding the vanguard members and intelligent machinery. The game has 22 heroes, each hero has its own signature weapons and skills.
Since OW does not support a 3:2 aspect ratio, I chose a 16:10 ratio here. Since the performance of the 965m does not qualify as a fever, OW does have some configuration, so in terms of resolution I chose 1920x1200 and the effect was high. Through testing, the number of frames of the Surface Book enhanced version can be maintained at more than 50 frames, or can play smoothly.
â— "League of Legends" high quality
The League of Legends (lol) is an online game developed by Riot Games in the United States and operated by Tencent Games in mainland China. In addition to real-time strategy and team operations, "League of Legends" also has more than 100 unique heroes, rich maps and gameplay, and an automatic match-making battlefield platform, including talent trees, summoner systems, runes and other elements. LOL has become one of the most popular and influential online games in the world today.
In this special festival of the Timothy Festival, I chose the "Doomsday Artificial Intelligence Mode" to test the enhanced Surface Book. In this mode, the computer has extremely perverted skills, and full screens are all special effects. At 3K resolution, the number of frames in the Surface Book Plus can be maintained at 66-68 frames, which is a very good result in this resolution.
â—CINEBENCH R15 test scores
CineBench is a very convincing set of CPU and graphics test systems, the latest is the R15 version. Compared to up to 16 cores in R11.5, the R15 version can support up to 256 logic cores. In addition, the new version also enhances the investigation of shaders, anti-aliasing, shadows, lights, and reflection blur, and the performance of CPUs. The test is more accurate.
â— 3Dmark test results
3Dmark is a futuremark company's software designed to measure the performance of graphics cards. The 3Dmark developed to the present is not only a software to measure the performance of graphics cards, but it has gradually become a software that measures the performance of the whole machine.
â— Lifetime
The most amazing thing about the Surface Book Plus is the battery. It has two batteries, one on the tablet and the other on the keyboard, so it has excellent performance in endurance. Of course, I mean when it is used as a laptop, and the life of the tablet can only be used to show others something.
Through the PCmark8 test, the enhanced life of the Surface Book is 3 hours and 41 minutes. After such a long period of high-load operation, the entire machine has 20% of the power. For such a configuration product, This kind of endurance has been amazing.
â— Use feelings
After using Surface Book for an extended period of time, I found it to be perfect as a production tool. Whether it is a rich usage scenario or stylus + touch screen, it can bring people in daily life. Great convenience. And if there is a game demand, the ratio of resolution and screen is a hard injury, although the resolution is very high, 965m graphics card is also good, but the ratio of 3:2 is actually a bit strange.
The tablet part, in my opinion, is more of an attempt, whether from the perspective of size or life, it can not be regarded as a flat product that can give people a good experience. But overall, this Surface Book Plus is still very good, provided you have such a high budget to buy a computer.
Editor's summary: The appearance of the Surface Book series means that after the development of a notebook, two-in-one products can also have very strong performance, but the price is too high is also one of its shortcomings, with the price can almost buy the flagship models Game book or business book. The products thus positioned may not appear to have a lot of users at present, but if this model continues to develop and mature, it may cause a drastic change to the notebook market.
