So if you're using a mouse, or the stylus, and want to access keyboard shortcuts on the right side with your left hand, it would be impossible to reach some shortcuts, e.g.

The only downside is there's no Control key on the right side. This keyboard is exceptionally satisfying to type on. The travel for the keys here are just right and there's a tactile feedback to each press. It's even better than the Macbook Pro (2015) before Apple switched to the idiotic butterfly keys. Surface Laptop has a good keyboard but the one on the Surface Book 2 is even better. I definitely prefer this surface finishing compared to the Alcantara fabric on the Surface Laptop. The matte surface finishing on the body and keys are nice to touch. With the Surface Book 2, it's thick for many good reasons which you shall find out below. You can make your laptop thick, but there must be a reason for the thickness. I'm not a fan of companies that sacrifice functionality for the pursuit of thinness.

Both the 13.5 and 15 models feel big and substantial. My first impression of the Surface Book 2 is that it's clunky, but in a good way. This review is for you if you create visual content. More specifically, my review is written for digital artists, photographers and video editors. It may not be the most powerful, may not the most affordable, but as a whole, the design and features it offers makes it a really attractive package.Īs usual, my review is from the perspective of a visual content creator. The Microsoft Surface Book 2 is one of the best Windows laptops in the market right now. Thanks to Microsoft Singapore for providing the review units for this review.
