Surface Book 2开发人员印象和USB-C的魔力

I recently got a updated laptop for work, a 15" Surface Book 2. It's quickly become my go-to machine, and I'm often finding myself using it more than my main desktop machine.

我最近买了一部更新的工作用笔记本电脑，一部15英寸的Surface Book2 。它很快成为我的首选机器，而且我发现自己使用它的次数要多于台式机。

I considered myself reasonably familiar with the Surface product line as I bought a Surface Pro 3 a few years back for myself (not a work machine), but I am genuinely impressed with this Surface Book 2 - and that surprised me.

几年前我为自己(不是工作机器)购买了Surface Pro 3时，我认为自己对Surface产品系列相当熟悉，但是这本Surface Book 2确实给我留下了深刻的印象，这让我感到惊讶。

Here's a random list of a tips, tricks, things I didn't realize, and general feelings about the 15" Surface Book 2.

这是随机列出的技巧，窍门，我没有意识到的事情以及有关15英寸Surface Book 2的一般感觉。

NICE尺寸为15英寸 (15" is a NICE size)

After years of "Ultrabooks" I missed an actual high-powered desktop replacement laptop. It's just 4.2 lbs and it doesn't feel unwieldy at all.

经过多年的“超极本”，我错过了一款真正的高性能台式机替代笔记本电脑。它只有4.2磅，一点也不觉得笨拙。

有两个Surface Connect端口 (There are TWO Surface Connect ports)

Legit had no idea. You can charge and dock the tablet part alone.

合法不知道。您可以单独为平板电脑部件充电和对接。

有一个标准尺寸的SD卡读卡器和一个3.5毫米耳机插Kong (There's a full sized SD card reader and a 3.5mm headphone jack)

Which sadly is more than I can say for my iPhone 8+.

可悲的是，这比我为iPhone 8+所能说的还多。

再次拥有15英寸的屏幕让我想知道您的11英寸MacBook Air员工如何集中精力。 (Having a 15" screen again makes me wonder how you 11" MacBook Air people can even concentrate.)

3240 x 2160, (260 PPI) is a weird resolution to be sure, but it's a hell of a lot of pixels. It's a 15" retina display.

可以肯定，3240 x 2160(260 PPI)是一个怪异的分辨率，但是它却要塞很多像素。这是15英寸的视网膜显示屏。

Windows中的高分辨率问题90％处理过恕我直言 (The high resolution issues in Windows are 90% handled IMHO)

I wrote about how running any DPI greater than 96dpi on Windows has historically sucked back in 2014, but literally every little Windows Update and Office update improves it. Only the oldest apps I run have any real issues. Even WinForms has been updated to support HighDPI so I have zero HighDPI issues in my daily life in 2018.

我曾写过一篇关于如何在Windows上运行大于96dpi的DPI的历史记录，该记录在2014年就已被吸收，但实际上每个Windows Update和Office更新都会对其进行改进。只有我运行的最旧的应用程序才有任何实际问题。甚至WinForms也已更新为支持HighDPI，因此我在2018年的日常生活中遇到了零个HighDPI问题。

电池寿命和管理方式更好 (Battery Life and Management is WAY better)

Battery Life on my Surface Pro 3 was "fine." You know? Fine. It wasn't amazing. Maybe 4-6 hours depending. However, the new Battery Slider on Windows 10 Creators Edition really makes simple and measurable difference. You can see the CPU GHz and brightness ratchet up and down. I set it to Best battery life and it'll go 8+ hours easy. CPU will hang out around 0.85 GHz and I can type all day at 40% brightness. Then I want to compile, I pull it up to bursts of 3.95 Ghz and take care of business.

Surface Pro 3的电池寿命很长。你懂？精细。这并不奇怪。可能需要4-6个小时。但是，Windows 10 Creators Edition上的新Battery Slider确实带来了简单而可衡量的差异。您可以看到CPU GHz和亮度上升和下降。我将其设置为“最佳电池寿命”，它将轻松运行8个多小时。 CPU将在0.85 GHz附近闲逛，我可以整天以40％的亮度打字。然后我要编译，将其提升到3.95 Ghz的峰值并处理业务。

高清摄像机FTW (HD Camera FTW)

Having a 1080p front facing camera makes Skype/Zoom/etc calls excellent. I even used the default Camera app today during an on-stage presentation and someone later commented on how clear the camera was.

拥有1080p前置摄像头可使Skype / Zoom /等通话效果出色。今天，我甚至在舞台上的演示中使用了默认的“相机”应用程序，后来有人评论了相机的清晰度。

USB-C-我不敢相信，但这确实是有用的 (USB-C - I didn't believe it, but it's really a useful thing)

Honestly, I wasn't feeling the hype around USB-C "one connector to rule them all," but today I was going to pull out some HDMI and Ethernet dongles here at the Webstock Conferences in New Zealand and they mentioned that all day they'd been using a Dell USB-C dock. I plugged in one cable - I didn't even use my Surface Power Brick - and got HDMI, a USB hub, Ethernet *and* power going back into the SurfaceBook. I think a solution like this will/should become standard for conferences. It was absolutely brilliant.

老实说，我并没有感觉到USB-C的“一个连接器可以统治所有人”的炒作，但是今天我要在新西兰的Webstock大会上拔出一些HDMI和以太网加密狗，他们整天都提到一直在使用 Dell USB-C扩展坞。我插入了一根电缆-我什至没有用过Surface Power Brick-并把HDMI，USB集线器，以太网*和*电源重新插入了SurfaceBook。我认为这样的解决方案将/将成为会议的标准。绝对很棒。

I have read some about concerns about charging the Surface Book 2 (and other laptops with USB-C) and there's a reddit thread with some detail. The follow says the Apple USB-C charger he bought charges the SurfaceBook at 72% of the speed of the primary charger. My takeaway is, ok, the included charger will always charge fastest, but this work not only work in a pinch, but it's a perfectly reasonable desk-bound or presenter solution. Just as my iPhone will charge - slowly - with aftermarket USB chargers. If you're interested in the gritty details, you can read about a conversation that the Surface has with an Apple Charger over USB as they negotiate how much power to give and take. Nutshell, USB-C chargers that can do 60W will work but 90+W are ideal - and the Dell Dock handles this well which makes it a great flexible solution for conferences.

我已经读过一些有关为Surface Book 2(以及其他带有USB-C的笔记本电脑)充电的担忧，并且有一个reddit线程提供了一些细节。追随者说，他购买的Apple USB-C充电器以主充电器速度的72％为SurfaceBook充电。我的要点是，好的，随附的充电器将始终以最快的速度充电，但是这项工作不仅可以在紧要关头工作，而且是一种非常合理的台式机或演示者解决方案。就像我的iPhone使用售后USB充电器缓慢充电一样。如果您对具体细节感兴趣，可以阅读有关Surface与USB上的Apple Charger进行对话的信息，因为他们会协商要提供多少电量。果壳式USB-C充电器可以工作60W，但90W以上是理想的-Dell Dock可以很好地处理这一问题，这使其成为会议的一种非常灵活的解决方案。

Also worth pointing out that there wasn't any perceptible "driver install" step. I got all the Dell Dock's benefits just by plugging it in at the conference. Note that I use a Surface Dock (the original/only one?) at home. In fact, the same Surface Dock I got for my personal Surface Pro 3 is in use by my new Surface Book 2. Presumably it doesn't output the full 95W that the Surface Book 2 can use, but in daily 10+ hour use it's been a non issue. There's articles about how you can theoretically drain a Surface Book 2's batteries if you're using more power than it's getting from a power supply, but I haven't had that level of sustained power usage. Haven't needed to give it a thought.

还值得指出的是，没有任何可察觉的“驱动程序安装”步骤。只需将其插入会议中，我就可以获得Dell Dock的所有好处。请注意，我在家使用Surface Dock(原来的/只有一个？)。实际上，我的新Surface Book 2使用的是与我的个人Surface Pro 3相同的Surface Dock。大概不会输出Surface Book 2可以使用的全部95W，但是每天使用10多个小时，不是一个问题。有几篇文章介绍了理论上，如果您使用的Surface Power消耗的电量超过了从电源获得的电量，那么从理论上讲该如何为Surface Book 2的电池供电，但是我还没有达到这样的水平。不需要思考。

i7的NVidia 1060具有6 GB的RAM，因此您可以安装GeForce并在Discrete GPU上运行应用程序 (The i7 has a NVidia 1060 with 6 gigs of RAM, so you can install GeForce and run apps on the Discrete GPU)

You can go in and control which apps run on which GPU (for power savings, or graphical power) or you can right click an app and Run on NVidia.

您可以进入并控制哪些应用程序在哪个GPU上运行(以节省功率或图形功能)，也可以右键单击某个应用程序并在NVidia上运行。

You can control which GPU on a program by program basis

or right click any app:

或右键单击任何应用程序：

Right Click | Run with Graphics Processor

它具有内置的Xbox无线适配器 (It has an Xbox Wireless Adapter built in)

I got this for work, so it's not a gaming machine...BUT it's got that NVidia 1060 GPU and I just discovered there's an Xbox Wireless Adapter built-in. I thought this was just Bluetooth, but it's some magical low-latency thing. You can buy the $25 USB Xbox Wireless Adapter for your PC and use all your Xbox controllers with it - BUT it's built-in, so handled. What this means for me as a road warrior is that I can throw an Xbox Controller into my bag and play Xbox Play Anywhere games in my hotel.

我上班了，所以它不是游戏机……但是它有NVidia 1060 GPU，我才发现有内置的Xbox无线适配器。我以为这只是蓝牙，但这是一些神奇的低延迟事物。您可以为PC购买25美元的USB Xbox无线适配器，然后将其与所有Xbox控制器一起使用-但它是内置的，因此可以处理。作为公路战士，这对我来说意味着可以将Xbox控制器放入包中，然后在酒店玩Xbox Play Anywhere游戏。

结论 (Conclusion)

All in all, I've had no issues with the Surface Book 2, given I stay on the released software (no Windows 10 Insiders Fast on this machine). It runs 2 external monitors (3 if you count its 15" display) and both compiles fast and plays games well.

总而言之，考虑到我仍然使用发布的软件(这台计算机上没有Windows 10 Insiders Fast)，Surface Book 2没有任何问题。它运行2台外接显示器(如果算上15英寸的显示器，则为3台)，并且都可以快速编译并且可以很好地玩游戏。
