Surface Book 2 is coming
Paul and Brad just went off embargo, and published details about the new Surface Book Pro 2. The rest of the Microsoft-following press will soon add their own echoes.
The dual-core Surface Book 2 13-inch will start at $1499, while the quad-core 15-inch versions, which weigh four pounds, will go for $2499 and up. They’ll be available for preorder on November 9 and go on sale one week later.
Oh, there’s a new mouse, too, for a hundred bucks. (Good grief, get a $68 Logitech Performance MX Mouse
or similar.) The pen costs extra, too.
Now you know why Paul and Brad were in New York last week.
Sorry if I can’t get worked up about it. I count 25 blogs with articles listed on Techmeme.
