Sporting the same impressive battery life of the entire Surface line, with 17 hours of video playback life, plus variants with the new 8th Gen Intel Core i7 CPUs - the new Surface Book 2 will also be available with Nvidia graphics options. Namely the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 or 1060. Impressive specs aside, because you also get two USB 3.1 ports, it's still think, sleek, and an awesome blend of tablet and laptop.

The Surface Book 2 will be available for pre-order on November 9, with availability on November 16 in either 13.5” or 15” options. Naturally, the variants with the GeForce GTX graphics options will be the ones to look out for, and alongside the CPU, memory, and storage should prove to be as impressive under the hood as the Surface has always been aesthetically.
