Microsoft Surface Book 2 i7 8GB 256GB W10 Pro with NVIDIA GTX1050 Performance Base

 

 

 

Specifications:
Intel 8th Gen i7-8650U (8M Cache, Turbo to 4.2GHz)
8GB 1866Mhz LPDDR3 Memory
256GB PCIe Solid State Drive
13.5" PixelSense Plus (3000 x 2000 - 267 PPI) 10 point multi-touch touchscreen
Intel HD Graphics 620
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 2GB GDDR5 Dedicated Graphics
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac & Bluetooth 4.1 technology
5.0MP front-facing camera with 1080p HD video
8.0MP rear-facing camera with autofocus and 1080p HD video

 

Input/Output:
2x Surface Connect Ports
2x USB Type-A (version 3.1 Gen 1)
1x USB Type-C (version 3.1 Gen 1 with USB Power Delivery revision 3.0)
1x Full-size SDXC Card Reader
1x 3.5mm Headphone Jack

 

 

 

Purchased mid-2018 from MS in the US so no warranty left. Selling due to upgrading to a more powerful laptop.

 

Comes with UAG case, MS Surface pen, MS Ice blue arc mouse, charging cable. No box.

 

Excellent physical condition (UAG case from day 1, has a Dbrand skin on the outside top and bottom). Can provide photos on request :)

 

 

 

Asking $1100 ONO. Prefer pickup in Wellington or Auckland but can negotiate shipping. (Box will be an issue))

 

 

 

Separately I also have the MS Surface Dock 2 - $250. Surplus to requirements without a Surface device.

SFB2 i7 here, running Win11 very sweet. 

 

For sale if you want to start some negotiations.

I'm heading to get on a plane but will check on Monday. Ran the Surface Diagnostic utility yesterday - no issues, no bright pixels, everything as per.


 
 
 

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

If you check the link, only i5-8350U or i7-8650U models are compatible, is the other one a i5-7300U? I think you can still install it if you're really keen.
