Surface Book 2 teased on Instagram with new hinge system?
I can confirm that the image posted (it's not a photo) is from an internal Microsoft 'sizzler' reel meant to demonstrate some ideas for the new Surface Book 2. The video has recently been shown within Microsoft's various departments and meetings starting in July, and multiple people can confirm seeing the video where this image originates.

Although the final design may change for the launch of the Surface Book 2, this teaser image is in line with previous rumors that Microsoft may be reworking the hinge system, in order to narrow the gap between keyboard and display when the device is closed.
The announcement of the Surface Book 2 is still ways off, with most rumors claiming a Spring 2017 unveiling, timed with the release of the next major update for Windows 10, dubbed Redstone 2.
