The Surface Book 1 Performance Base was originally released in November 2016. It was a decent upgrade from the original model, including a larger battery and a more powerful GPU in the base. Despite these upgrades, how does it stand in 2023? The answer comes down to battery aging.

That terrible battery life is all I needed to hear; I need a tablet to walk around with all day for work. I'll be right next to the base so that's not an issue but I don't want to deal with that battery life. Great review, thanks!

Absolutely love the Surface Book. Been using it as my primary laptop since 2016 with no major issues. Just replaced the keyboard battery today which was cheap and straightforward.

Hi, thanks for sharing. Recently, my surface book 1 battery at the base got swollen. How much did it cost you to replace?
@ThomasPolech
@ThomasPolech 11 дней назад
Not a lot. The parts were about $40 total on Amazon.

In summary, just two things to watch out for, the battery needing replacing and dust gathering in the hinge
@minneso5424

I think the battery has a lifespan of approximately 300 cycles, and the risk of damaging the laptop while cleaning the dust is significant.

Nice review! I still have a SB1 [had 2, 1 w/ perf base that I sold ], that's relegated to use for testing, and misc A/V processing task. Im a 30 year IT guy and the SB is my favorite laptop of all time!! I'm a 2-in 1 guy so I'm partial in the sense, but I also loved the look and screen of the Book. I'm going to see how well it will hold up to be able to stream 720-1080 livestreams. It's stationary on my desk 100% of the time so I figure I'll use it until the battery goes or it no longer has any utility for me. Thanks

Bought a surface 3 at the start of oandemic and still going strong. The ability to use it with surface pen and doing normal pc stuff is unrivalled. Sure, its not powerful but i could atill use it for basic coding tasks.

6:18, Thankyou for that honest review. Can you please tell if you got any warranty when you bought it in 2019 & what was covered in that warranty ? Thnx loads🙏😃 All these Microsoft Surface devices look beautiful but it's obvious there will be problems down the road after just a few years because of its design and of course, Programmed Obsolescent .

There was no warranty when I purchased my Surface Book 1 used. The manufacturer warranty from Microsoft was also expired.

Nice review. Really gave me a good insight into considering a second hand option of this. I needed it mainly for editing photos on light room. Seems a little outdated and too risky to purchase for todays software so have decided to pass. Thanks heaps for saving me time. Cheers

Congrats on swapping out the battery in the tablet. My original SB1 batteries started to swell in 2020 just like yours. Unlike you, I tossed my unit out. I'm not debating buying a used SB3 because I miss using my old SB.

My SB1 just died on me without warning. I suspect it is a battery issue but can't be sure. How did you glue everything back, such as the screen? Did you use a special adhesive, and can you recommend one to buy for a home repair?
@xntricity6446
@xntricity6446 9 месяцев назад
It should power up with power adapter connected, if not its more serious than a battery issue I think.
@Plainapple287
@Plainapple287 7 месяцев назад
I got two surface books from recycling earlier on this year, both with swollen batteries, one screen came off fine and the other completely shattered and came away in pieces, still working, just shattered, my solution for the issue was just to rip the battery from the tablet and use the bottom case to power it, not entirely reliable, but enough for it to work properly and not be a hazard.
@conchobar
@conchobar 6 месяцев назад
If you can safely remove the screen, you might as well install a new battery since removing the swollen battery is 98% of the work.

I ended up going down the Surface Laptop line instead, mainly for price reasons..... But yeah, the Surface Book 1 is why I fell in love with Surface in the first place. I totally understand why Microsoft went down the route of replacing the Book with the Laptop Studio....just far less things can go wrong, but I will forever appreciate what the Book 1 did.

Doesn't the charger connect directly into the tablet? In to the bottom port that attaches to the keyboard.

I will say. It depends on how the batteries have been used as well. I bought a surface book1 from my step brother for 300 and he bought it new in 2016. It has always been plugged in so the batteries are still basically brandnew. No swelling yet. Though the tablet battery is unreliable and likes to shut off at 80%, though that could be because he never used it as a tablet so the battery was never properly calibrated

Like every high tech product it becomes obsolete in time. I still have my Book 1, great for web surfing obviously for other task like content creation is Not great, awfully slow. The screen is great. In general High tech product has a life cycle of 18mths - 2 years depending on individuals.

no! the Cpu is too old for Windows 11's requirements. I'd suggest you look for at least a Book 3.

yeah but they are so cheap these days tho.. Like trash chromebook money cheap... and the screen is beautiful with it's 3:2 aspect ratio for certain stuff.. I bought a book 2 for 130$ just to read comics ( they look perfect with the 3:2 aspect ratio).. Plan it to use it plugged in so battery last as long as possible...

not really at that price. I bought mine for $150 which should the price one should aim for although $200 should be the max anyone should pay for these older machines that don't run Windows 11.
