And probably the most important data point is 70 percent more battery life on your Surface Book 2 than on your Macbook Pro.” That includes the fact that they’re delivering 30 percent more pixels in both. If you did the same with the two 15-inches, you would see it’s two times more powerful. So if you took the 13-inch and you compared it to the 13-inch, you would see it’s two times more powerful. “The Surface Book 2 is twice as performant as the Macbooks in the market now. “These are performance beasts,” Panos repeated. Panay also noted the Surface Book 2 has the “thinnest LCD stack ever created.”Īs he’s done multiple times before, Panay pitted the latest Surface device against its Apple counterparts. Panay joked he was frustrated the team wouldn’t let him hit the arbitrary 7 million. “There is no laptop that’s ever pushed this much computational power in this form factor,” Panay declared. By comparison, the Surface Book 2 maxes out at 4.3 million teraflops. The original Surface Book could push 1 million teraflops of GPU power, while the Surface Book i7 went up to 1.9 million teraflops.
