    Can you verify the CPU model? For i5 does not have 8650U, per Intel, 8650U is under i7. And the JB-HIFI link talks about CPU in i7-7200U.

    • Pricebeat on 12/02/2019 - 11:33

      Yeah I confirmed it
      Here's the link to public website.

      • blonky on 12/02/2019 - 11:41

        Guarantee that's wrong - the i5 model will be 8250U; the 8650U only comes in an i7 variant and retails for over $2k in the surface laptop 2.
        The clockspeed also matches the 8250U

      Was that 1220 for 256 or 128. 1220 is quite good for 256. How do you access JB commercial?

      256GB is $1437 on TGG commercial.

  • Viper8 on 12/02/2019 - 12:18

    39W power supply for the more expensive option, yet its CPU and GPU alone consume around 60W. To avoid power limit bottle necks this would need a 75-90W power supply when you factor in the rest of the system.
    At 39W they should have just stuck with MX110/130/150.

    Can someone please share their experience with 128GB SSD?

    My current work computer has a 256GB SSD. Work has installed W10 64-bits, Office, Adobe Acrobat and around 5 specific softwares. Everything is up to date.

    All my work documents are stored on the common network drives.
    I do not have any pictures or videos stored on the computer.
    I only have a few excel spreadsheets and word documents stored on the local drive.

    I had a look at the C: drive and the non-hidden "windows" folder is 36GB. The local drive has 79GB taken.

    Knowing that SSD need ~20% free space at all time to perform TRIM properly, a 120GB SSD (114GB after formatting) would have 92GB of free storage.
    That would mean that I would only have 13GB of storage for documents, media files and other personal software? How do people deal with 128GB total un-formatted capacity in 2019?

    • Mitch889 on 12/02/2019 - 12:28

      128GB is plenty if you’re not storing big photo libraries or videos on the system drive. Grab a cheap small USB stick for some extra storage when on the go if needing a bit more room without having a drive hanging off. Some will only stick out a few mm.

      Not going to compete for speed with the internal SSD, but good for storing big files.

    Anyone have a Surface Book 2 and can comment on how well it works as a tablet? I mean is it really a good Android tablet replacement (where I am coming from) or are you just really trying to do tablet things in a windows environment?

    Also this version has the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 most reviews talk about the 1060 performance for gaming etc. Is the drop off here substantial?

  • Chimichanga on 12/02/2019 - 13:04

                @me: One thing you could try is to temporarily go to the non-commercial website and go to the checkout with a Surface Laptop, and see if your code works there. If it does, that'd be some sort of evidence that the code only works with the non-commercial website.

    Bought 2x surface book 2 15" i7 256gb with 16gb ram for about $2800 each using jbhifi gift card with 10% discount bought from gumtree last financial year.

    Its a very nice tablet/laptop.
    15" is quite big and heavy for a tablet.

    I would recommend a 256gb micro sd card with adapter could save quite a lot of money rather than get the 512gb option.

    Dont expect the battery to last as their specs…..other than that totally love it.
