• Surface Book 2 reviews are out – and they’re all thumbs up

    There’s a reason why Microsoft sends hardware to known-friendly reviewers in advance of availability.

    You can see the effect now. The embargo just came off.

    Right now, on Techmeme, I see links to 10 different reviews of the Surface Book 2. Every single one of them raises a fanboi flag.

    Who knows? Maybe a month from now the world will come to the consensus that the US $ 2,500 (starting price) 15-inch model is the best laptop ever made.

    Given the Surface line’s amaaaaazing history, I’m skeptical. Still, ya never know.

    We’ll see. Stranger things have happened.
