Newer hardware is always going to be more expensive than previous generations, but usually comes rocking benefits like additional support, more powerful components to name but two advantages. That said, it's usually possible to locate some deals on older generations, including the Surface Book. While the newer Surface Book 2 features better integrated and discrete GPU options, newer processor, and even better battery life is it worth paying out more?
Community member zachthebomb13 is wondering just that ahead of making a purchase decision.
Personally, I'd lean towards the original Surface Book if you're more conscious about pricing and have a strict budget or simply do not rate an additional bump in performance to be worth around $80, taking a slight hit on storage and the GPU. Otherwise, the Surface Book 2 is a more powerful and recent Windows 10 PC, making it a compelling choice. There's no wrong choice since both the Surface Book and Surface Book 2 are excellent machines.
Like zachthebomb13, I'm interested to know which you'd choose so head to our forum and join the conversation.
