Background and Identification

The Microsoft Surface Book 2 comes in several different variations. This page refers to the hybrid tablet/laptop computer with a 15 inch screen (measured diagonally). This computer may have an Intel i5-8350U or Intel i7-8650U processor. For many people, 15 inch laptops like this one hit the ‘Goldilocks zone’ of mobile computers. They’re not too big or small, and they have enough space for a good processor without sacrificing portability. However, this screen size is fairly large for a hybrid computer. Hybrid laptops, also called 2-in-1 laptops, have a touch screen and a detachable keyboard. When the keyboard is attached, the device functions like a regular laptop. When it is disconnected, the screen can be used as a tablet. 15 inches is very large for a tablet, but the large screen size may be preferable to some users. To find the model number of your Microsoft computer, use this guide from the Microsoft support website.
