    Microsoft Surface Book 2 (Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB) - 15"

    • other than the battery issue, it is a very powerful convertible pc
    • The updated drivers are suppose to fix some battery issues and some screen detachment issues, and "increase stability"
    • Get one of the dozen other touchscreen laptops on the market for a third of the cost and without the battery issues and poor design.
    • On top of that, the Surface Book 2 has battery issues: Even when plugged it at lowest power settings, your computer will slowly deplete its battery while doing anything moderately intensive (e.g. gaming)
    • I will try to evaluate the Microsoft Surface Book 2 from the perspective of someone who has other devices already, as well as from the perspective of someone who wants one unit to do it all
    • I took my time to write this review, so that I spend enough time to use it thoroughly, as well as get feedback from my wife and my elementary school daughter
