No Surface Book 2?

So, is it confirmed there will be no Surface Book 2?

While I was not expecting a Surface Book 2 to be announced at this event I really hope it comes out this year. I think the Surface Book needs a refresh this fall with a more powerful processor and USB Type C.

BTW - I was not that impressed with the Surface Laptop that was announced either as it suited for a very niche segment.

Why do you say that? If anything I'd say the Book is more niche.

I think he means that a laptop with 10S is nuche, and I certainly agree. Once it has pro on it, that's a different story.

The target market is the college student and Professors. They are even trying to add apps to the store for this target market. They are even targeting Office in the store to this target group.

Surface Book received a bump in November with the launch of the Surface Studio. I would expect to see refreshes for the SP4 and SB around RS3...

That's only cause of the high price. The Surface Book can be used as laptop just fine and has some cool added features (removal tablet, pen input, etc.) If it was priced lower it would appeal to a lot more people.

The Surface Laptop with Windows 10S is limited. Granted someone can upgrade to Windows 10 but that's not how they are marketing it.

Okay well I'm not even considering Windows 10 S as an option lol... but I guess people on here are different to the general public!

I will NOT be buying another Microsoft Surface product after this driver/chrome/pen/USB issues that I have encountered. Too much money for being a beta tester.

I've had my Surface Book since December and being a Beta Tester is the last thing I would consider myself! This laptop/tablet has been remarkable. But like any product there are lemons so it is quite possible that you have one. Have you considered returning your since it sound like it is full of issues?
