Winner: Surface Book 2 15 Keyboard, Mouse, and PenĪs a 2-in-1, the Surface Book 2 15 excels in offering different ways to get information into the notebook and to gain control over it. The Surface Book 2 15 is the most powerful 2-in-1 around, and it challenges most other non-gaming notebooks. However, LG neglected to offer any kind of discrete GPU, and so its gaming and creative productivity chops are unimpressive. It, too, is plenty fast for standard productivity tasks. The LG Gram also uses Intel’s latest CPU, although it’s the slightly slower Core i7-8550U. But the Surface Book 2 15’s real claim to fame is its packing in an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 GPU, a bona fide midrange gaming graphics chip that can also churn through things like video editing. That’s the fast 15-watt processor available today, and it can both ramp up for high-end productivity and scale down to sip power with less demanding tasks. The Surface Book 2 15 is based on the very speedy and surprisingly efficient eighth-generation Intel Core i7-8650U processor. The LG Gram succeeds in its thin and light mission, but that’s not enough to take the design win. The Surface Book 2 15 is a remarkably innovative and flexible 2-in-1, with a robust build quality and good looks. Maybe it’s too thin and light, because although it meets the MIL-STD 810G specification for durability, we found the lid a bit bendy. That’s remarkable for a notebook with a 15.6-inch display, and it’s also thin at 0.7 inches. What sets it apart from the 15-inch notebook field is its incredibly light magnesium alloy chassis that weighs a scan 2.41. The LG Gram takes almost the opposite approach - it’s a very traditional clamshell notebook without a hint of 2-in-1 flexibility. It also remains a relatively thick (0.9 inches at the hinge) and heavy (starting at 4.2 pounds). In short, the iconic Surface Book design remains largely intact, at least aesthetically - and it retains its very different 2-in-1 format where the display, which contains the actual PC, tears off into a surprisingly thin tablet.

It has the same silver-grey magnesium chassis with the unique fulcrum hinge, and it maintains the gap between the display and the keyboard that you’ll either overlook or hate. The Surface Book 2 is the machine’s third iteration, and it hasn’t changed much in its design or appearance.
