Microsoft Surface Book 2 release date: specs and features of rumored new laptop

(Microsoft website)Microsoft Surface Pro 4, Microsoft Surface Book, and Microsoft Surface 3 are the latest products of Microsoft Surface at the moment. New models are speculated to be launched within the year and to be released in 2017.

There have been Microsoft events that have come and gone where a new Microsoft laptop has been rumored to be unveiled. Unfortunately, the year is approaching its fourth quarter, but the arrival of Microsoft Surface Book 2 has not yet been confirmed. However, speculations about a 2016 launch and 2017 release remain rife.

Microsoft's Surface brand devices are hits in the market. What started out as a tablet that functions almost the same way as a laptop eventually led to the addition of a laptop that could be as handy as a tablet produced by the brand.

It has been a while since Microsoft has launched the first Surface Book and, with the many additional technologies since, consumers have long been anticipating the arrival of the Microsoft Surface Book 2. Added to the anticipation are the many rumors, supposed leakages, and alleged insider information that claim the gadget is indeed on its way.

Microsoft has an event coming in October that is widely believed to be dedicated to the launch of Microsoft Surface Book 2 and other Surface rumored gadgets such as the Surface Pro 5, Surface Phone, and a new Surface all-in-one PC.

However, it takes at least a month before products launched are made available in the market so the products to be unveiled are most likely to wait for 2017 to be released.

Microsoft Surface Book 2 is reportedly built with a new hinge that would address the reported difficulty with the hinge used in the first model. It is also believed to make use of the Kaby Lake chipsets, with 4K screen and virtual reality (VR) gaming support.

September is about to end and, while news are plenty, it would be best to take in reports with a grain of salt.
