Microsoft did so well with the Surface Book 2, we gave it a full five-star rating and raved about all of its features. Surface Pro 6 is almost as good as the Surface Book 2 and can even be kitted out with better internals than the base model Surface Book 2, but Microsoft's 2-in-1 notebook is simply better overall. The tablet starts from just $900, while you can expect to pay $1,150 for the Surface Book 2. Something to bear in mind is pricing, which is where the Surface Pro 6 wins big time. It's not a huge difference, but worth considering if you're often found without power outlets.

Surface Pro 6 is more versatile and incredibly powerful tablet - you try running the full desktop Adobe Photoshop suite on an iPad - and while it does offer a battery life of around 13 hours, the Surface Book 2 edges out in front with upwards of 17 hours. It's designed for extended power use, while the Surface Pro is more of a tablet you can use for intensive tasks irregularly. Both devices can be configured with the same Intel Core i7 processor, but the Surface Book 2 has the advantage of a dedicated GPU and better overall computing. Surface Book 2 is the more powerful device, without question.
