The Surface Laptop 2 is Microsoft’s nod to the tried-and-true clamshell mechanism. Take one look at the Laptop 2 and you’ll see, though, that it’s anything except usual.

An under-the-hood power issue with the Surface Dock, a USB-C port, and the Surface Book 2 charger is the only flaw in Microsoft's new convertible tablet laptop.

The Surface Laptop 2 is also available in the glorious matte black, and it looks fantastic. In a shake-up from previous years, both systems ship with Windows 10 Home rather than Pro.

Rounding out the features, the Surface Laptop 2 also includes a TPM 2.0 chip for enterprise security, Windows Hello for secure sign-ins via the front-facing 720p webcam, and Bluetooth 4.1.
