Microsoft Surface Book 2
From £1149 / microsoft.com
If your lance is free and your desk is hot, you need a laptop that’s adaptable to your working conditions. The Surface Book 2 is arguably more laptop than tablet, mainly because it runs the full version of Windows 10 Pro, but its multiple forms make it an ideal companion for somebody whose working environment is ever-changing.
To look at the Surface Book 2, which comes in either 13.5in or 15in sizes, you’d never know it was a hybrid. The Dynamic Fulcrum Hinge looks and feels solid but still allows you to attach the PixelSense screen facing either way and fold it flat. You can remove it completely and work in tablet format as well; but when you fold it in half and add the Surface Pen (£100), Studio Mode will make your Surface Book 2 feel like a futuristic sketchpad.
