The 15-inch version of the Surface Book 2 is now available to buy in the UK from the official Microsoft StoreJohn Lewis and Currys PC World.

We've played with this thing and it is a beast, with up to 17 hours of battery life and Intel's latest generation Core i7 processors. It isn't the lightest though at nearly 2kg; it's certainly not an ultraportable device. 

The new Surface Book 2 features a more powerful Nvidia graphics chip in the base (it uses Intel graphics in the tablet part when it is detached) to drive the beautiful 15-inch PixelSense display. 

The available Surface Book 2 15-inch models are: 

  • Intel Core i7, 16GB memory, 512GB storage, dedicated Nvidia graphics - £2,749
  • Intel Core i7, 16GB memory, 1TB storage, dedicated Nvidia graphics - £3,149

We'll need to test it ourselves to check on the battery life and performance for sure; n the meantime, you can always check out our review of the 13-inch Surface Book 2
