Just like its predecessor, the Microsoft Surface Book 2 features a display that can be popped off the keyboard base to become a thin, light, and powerful tablet with active pen support. This allows it to be used in four different modes. In laptop mode, you get a full keyboard and large trackpad that you can use alongside the interactive touchscreen. Detaching the PixelSense display transforms it into a tablet you can take anywhere. You can also fold it into studio mode for a more comfortable and natural drawing position. And when you need to share content or presentations, you can detach the display and turn it around before reattaching to get a screen you can control with voice commands.

The tablet is the Microsoft Surface Book 2’s main computer component. Inside it is the latest quad-core Intel processor which has enough power to run professional-grade software. Docking it in its keyboard base lets you tap into the built-in NVIDIA GeForce GPUs for improved graphics performance. Most of the battery is also in the base. The combined batteries of the tablet and the keyboard can last you for up to 17 hours — almost double the normal working day.

Experience the best of Microsoft with the Surface Book 2 13.5-inch detachable notebook. Save $300 off of the usual price of $1,499 when you get the Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD variant on Amazon today. You can also choose variants with greater specifications and still save. Hurry and order now before stocks run out.

Apple's MacBook Neo arrived as a shock to the industry. It is the new cheap MacBook that is designed to be silent, efficient, and affordable. But a new stress test suggests that it could have been noticeably better with a very simple change.

As per a recent test, the addition of a basic copper plate to the cooling setup can improve both thermals and performance by a meaningful margin. And the frustrating part? It isn't some complex engineering overhaul and is relatively straightforward.
