    Must-have SB2 acessories?

    Any thoughts about this tablet holder? I'm trying to think of a good use case for someone not needing it for their job. Gripzilla Pro for iPad Pro, Surface Pro, 10.8" to 15" Tablets, Soft Neoprene Handle and Pop Out Stand & EZconnect Adapter...

    Intel slowdown

    I just did the Geekbench test and got a 4553 single core and 12516 multi-core score. I don't know if it matters that my power mode was set to better performance and not best. Hopefully I won't drop that much after all the patches are done.

    Intel slowdown

    I'll definitely take advantage of that today so I can get a baseline for my machine. Has anyone used Geekbench before and after to see the difference?

    Intel slowdown

    That makes sense. I just over reacted. I definitely want to keep my machine.

    Intel slowdown

    Thanks, but I saw on the Verge that the SB2 was affected as well and patches are coming. I really love the 15" but I'm starting to wonder if I should return it while I still have a window. It bugs me that people have spent top dollar for this particular device to end up with potentially...

    Intel slowdown

    Is that the SB2 or SP3?

    Intel slowdown

    I just had a thought- would MS still push a patch out to the SB2 even if the chip is not vulnerable?

    Intel slowdown

    That's great news!

    Intel slowdown

    I don't know if anyone brought this up yet but are the current SB2's impacted by the security flaw? I guess it is too soon to know the impact to performance after the patch.

    USB-C charging?

    Thanks, I just got my Apple cable and it's charging like a pro! The only issue I noticed is that I got a couple of warning messages that it was not charging at a full rate and there is also a yellow exclamation point over the charging symbol in the system tray.

    USB-C charging?

    Anyone using an official Apple usb c charger and noticed problems with charging or negatively affecting their system? I figured it's worth asking from those who already has been using it.

    Steam VR

    In case if anyone's interested, mixed reality works very well with Rift and Vive games through Steam. I tried Batman Arkam VR and Doom VFR using the Lenovo MR headset and they play very good. The loading time can be a little long but once you get in it's fun. It's strange when you look at...

    USB-C charging?

    Thanks, I picked up the official adapter from Apple without the cable. I got it on eBay for $42. Not bad for an extra very portable adapter for the Surface.

    SB2 13.5" coil whine

    I haven't heard any whine on my 15". Maybe it's there but nothing beside the fan was audible.

    Must-have SB2 acessories?

    I haven't tried pulling it out yet but I don't really plan on swapping cards often.

    Must-have SB2 acessories?

    I just bought one off Amazon and at first my system did not recognize the micro sd/adapter, so I pushed it in a little further and it works perfectly and is exactly flush with the side. This adapter is a perfection solution for my 256 GB card.

    Nvidia drivers

    On that same note, does installing the latest Nvidia drivers impact battery life? Should I have stuck with what MS updates only? If so, how would I go back to MS drivers? Do I have to start clean or is there a way to remove the latest drivers that Nvidia provides? I won't do anything if...

    Nvidia drivers

    I used the illumishield 2 pack protector from Amazon for $12. It goes on dry and seems pretty good so far. There was one defect on the protector where there was a slight crease in the film but it's only on the very far left of my display and not obstructing the screen. It wasn't enough for me...

    Steam VR

    I tested MR and Steam VR. Both work great. The Oculus Rift appears not to be compatible with the Surface Book 2. I get this message after installing - "Oculus has encountered an error. Restart your computer or contact rift support." I tried connecting my actual Rift to the 3 available usb...

    SB2 15" battery life

    I noticed my battery was starting to drain using a mixture of Edge and Chrome. I lost about 25% in about 90 minutes. I installed Office 2016, installed Steam, installed Nvidia GeForce experience and then installed Oculus. I watched a little bit of video in Edge before it got down to about...
