Surface book 2 later this month from $ 999

The range of Surface laptops is giving Microsoft a lot of joy, especially since the launch of the Surface Pro 4, which is doing a lot of damage to MacBooks. Those of Redmond seem to have everything ready for the next round, which will begin with the launch of Surface Book 2, which will come with some news that is worth commenting on.

Mass production of the Surface Book 2 has already begun according to DigiTimes reports and would hit stores between the end of March and the beginning of April, so the official announcement should be on the decline according to the source.

The highlight of the Surface Book 2 is that Microsoft decided to remove the hybrid design and it can only be used as an ultrabook. Why did they decide to do this? Probably so that it differs from what a Surface Pro already offers.

The 13.5-inch screen would remain the same as in the previous model but unfortunately nothing is commented on the technical specifications of the laptop, where we should expect an important evolution with respect to the Surface Book that launched in October 2015 4K screen? Intel Kaby Lake processor? We'll see.

Microsoft had originally manufactured some 500, 000 units of the first Surface Book, but now the forecasts are going to be higher, estimating between 1 and 2 million units that will be ready to reach stores around the world.

During this year Microsoft would also be revealing the new Surface Pro 5, the hybrid laptop that everyone is waiting for and that will surely set the trend for this type of device.

The basic price of the Surface Book 2 would be 999 dollars, below the 1499 dollars that the current model costs.
