There are no radical design changes here, just more of a good thing – once again, it's an evolution rather than a revolution. It's been quite a while since Microsoft updated these Surface family devices, so you can expect them to be a significant step up on their predecessors (see our reviews of the Surface Book 2 and Surface Go).
