First, to recap: Microsoft has been hammering away at its Surface line of laptop-tablet hybrids for a while now and the results are starting to show, with some of the best Windows machines we've used coming out of Redmond. The model in question today is the Surface Book 2, which also happens to be one of the best computers Microsoft makes.

As we said in our Surface Book 2 review, this really is the real deal: a powerful laptop combined with a capable tablet, running Windows 10 and all that that entails, with oodles of power for whatever your needs may be. Seriously, if you need to do some serious work on your laptop, look no further.

Underpinning the Surface lineup are powerful Intel i5 or i7 CPUs, loads of storage, Windows 10 (as mentioned), and a load of other gadgets and gizmos. The most notable is the touchscreen, which has full support for styluses and can be used alongside the keyboard and trackpad to great effect, especially if you want to be a little more artistic. 

In fact, if you're looking to draw or be creative in other ways that need a touchscreen, then this really is the best choice for you. Apple still refuses to fit a touchscreen into its MacBooks (although, of course, the iPad exists), basically ceding the touchscreen-enabled laptop game to Microsoft.
