This year's Surface Book is much the same as last year's – but only from the waist up. Below the Dynamic Fulcrum Hinge on the Surface Book 2016 sits the all-new Performance Base, which packs bigger batteries, a redesigned cooling system and a GPU that Microsoft claims to be twice as powerful as last year's. I got the chance to see the Surface Book 2016 up close at Microsoft's big launch event last month, and now I've got a top-of-the-line Surface Book review unit in the Boston studio!

With Apple's elimination of the SD card reader and full-size USB ports on its new notebooks still grinding my gears, I'm scouring the market for a MacBook Pro alternative. Could the Surface Book Performance be my next notebook? Check out Part 1 of this review series here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut2ganIK0cY], then take in Part 2 of MrMobile's Surface Book 2016 review above!
