Is the Surface Book 2 still good for everyday work?

For web, office tasks, and light creative work, the Surface Book 2 remains capable, and higher configs included discrete graphics for heavier workloads. Being an older device, battery health and OS support are the main considerations. Compare Surface Book 2 configurations across sellers on Shopfox.

What ports does the Surface Book 2 have?

The Surface Book 2 includes USB-A ports, a USB-C port, a full-size SD card reader, and the magnetic Surface Connect port for charging and docking. It does not include Thunderbolt. Confirm the exact port layout for the size (13.5 or 15 inch) on the Shopfox product page.

Does the Surface Book 2 support Windows 11?

The Surface Book 2's older Intel processors fall outside Microsoft's official Windows 11 hardware requirements, so it's supported on Windows 10 by default. Some users install Windows 11 unofficially, but that isn't guaranteed. Check which OS is installed on any Surface Book 2 listing on Shopfox.

Perfect for me.

I've always been a fan of the Surface lineup. I needed a new computer for my online courses, and this one has been flawless. It handles everything I throw at it, the display is gorgeous, and it easily lasts me through the day.

I love my surface book.

Update 5/5/2020: After about 20 days, my Surface Book started shutting down randomly and wouldn't turn back on. The seller quickly approved the return and sent me a return label. I'm not blaming Surface Book as a product—it's a fantastic device. But this experience made me rethink buying refurbished electronics. I ordered a new Surface Book 2 from another seller, and it arrived today. I'm still loving it. I won't deduct stars just because of a defective refurbished unit—stuff happens. I used both a Surface Tablet and a Surface Book at my old job, and they wanted them back when I was let go. A few months ago, I hit a small win on a scratch-off ticket, so I treated myself to a Surface Tablet, but I still wanted a Surface Book. About a month ago, I decided to go for it. I'm usually not a fan of refurbished items—heck, I don't even like leftovers! But the price for this I7 Surface was cheaper than a new I5, so I took a chance. No regrets. All accessories and manuals were included, no physical marks to suggest it was refurbished, and it works perfectly. Thanks Amazon for a great deal and Microsoft for a great computer!
