Rather than featuring the newest 7th-gen Intel Kaby Lake CPU, the Surface Book i7 offers the 6th-gen Skylake CPU. While it has heavily updated the Surface base with a fat new GPU, it appears to have left the tablet portion of the Surface Book untouched-on the outside and inside. Well, prepare for some payback because Microsoft just pulled an Apple with the Surface Book. The fan uses a hyperbolic fin design, which blows hot air out the back of the laptop.Īlthough Panay said it was the same design, images of the new Surface Book seem to indicate it’s gotten a little bigger.
In fact, Panay said the company had to add an additional fan to the Surface Book base to keep it cool. No matter the part though, doubling the graphics performance of the old Surface Book is an admirable feat. There’s a GeForce GTX 965M mobile chip inside the new Surface Book i7. The problem here is that Nvidia hasn’t released the laptop versions yet. That’s because while the GTX 965M isn’t a bad GPU, it’s a little elderly and built on the old 28nm process. Nvidia just announced its desktop GeForce GTX 10 Ti, which will likely be far more powerful and power efficient. That’s quite a step up in performance-a level I haven’t seen in anything smaller than a 15-inch laptop-but it’s still likely to disappoint some. This time at the rodeo, Microsoft updates the GPU to a GeForce GTX 965M with 2GB of GDDR5. Most chip experts believed it to basically be a GeForce GT 940. The original Surface Book used a “GeForce” GPU with no actual model number attached to it. The biggest upgrade is, of course, the GPU.
