Background
Released on November 16 2017 the Microsoft Surface Book 2 is a 2-in-1 PC which can be used like a conventional laptop, or the screen can be detached and used separately as a tablet, with touch and stylus input. Models can come with an 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-8350U or i7-8650U processor. The Surface Book 2 is backward-compatible with all accessories of its direct predecessors, such as the Surface Dock, Surface Dial and Surface Pen. The device's native pen computing capabilities are based on N-trig technology Microsoft acquired in 2015, but major improvements were made to reduce input latency, add tilt support, and capture up to 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity
Identification
This device can be distinguished by finding the Microsoft logo on the back side of the screen and the "detach key" at the top right of the keyboard. Volume and power buttons will be on the top left of the screen and a headphone jack on the right side.
