    Must-have SB2 acessories?

    All good to know. I looked up the max size of a take on battery and it's 100Wh. This battery is 100Wh so that should be fine. That is good to know about no batteries in checked luggage. I might have checked one at some point. I'm getting on 6 planes in the next 2 months.

    Must-have SB2 acessories?

    Thinking about getting a powerbank with an AC plug for things like my surface book. However, ones that are small enough to be allowed on airlines don't go up to the 90 amps that the charger requires. The one I'm looking at goes to 70 amperes. Will the charger still work albeit at a slower rate...

    SB2 randomly stops charging

    Have you tried unplugging the charger from the wall and plugging it into the same outlet? Some DC charger have a feature that cuts off the power until you unplug it and plug it back in for various reasons such as overheating or overvoltage.

    Love it. I wish that was available for the 15 inch model.

    Surface Dial

    Setting the dial to undo on tap and step back on rotate in photophop is the only thing that's preventing me from returning it. It's so handy when in tablet mode, with no keyboard shortcuts.

    original Surface Book power adapter for Surface Book 2?

    Yes, it should be totally fine but it' will be providing only a little over 1/3 the power that the charger that came with it. Depending on the power mode, it may not charge faster that it will be using power.

    Intel slowdown

    I hope so. I'm not too worried about the performance hit but it will always be in the back of my mind. I'm avoiding benchmarks since I can't tell from day to day use that there's any performance degradation. I hate it when I let a series of numbers dictate how much I'm enjoying my machine when...

    Intel slowdown

    Any chance that a more optimized fix will come some time in the future or is this it?

    Macbook cases that fit SB2 15 inch and quesiton about hinge

    Mine just came and it's pretty good. It fits the SB2 15 inch perfectly. Nothing hangs out. I could drop it with the flap open and I don't think it would be damaged though I'm not exactly going to test that claim. It's more about peace of mind. The pocket in the front easily holds everything...

    Macbook cases that fit SB2 15 inch and quesiton about hinge

    I really like that sleeve. Would you say that the canvas is of an olive drab? I can never quite tell in the pictures and videos. Regardless I like it a lot. It's a good looking bag.

    Cannot detach tablet - 3D Paint Running

    You can't uninstall it via normal means. You have to use commands in windows powershell. You can just google it.

    Macbook cases that fit SB2 15 inch and quesiton about hinge

    I was torn between the two. I decided to err on the side of having more space for all the junk I pack with me on some days. I'm very interested to hear how you like yours.

    Intel slowdown

    Ran the tool and it says that my 15 inch SB2 is not vulnerable to this particular intel chip design flaw. I guess the chip was designed after they became aware of the flaw. EDIT: I actually don't know how this tool works. It could not be detecting vulnerabilities because the windows patch is...

    Official I received my Surface Book

    It doesn't need a dongle. You pair it turning it on, holding the little black button near the micro USB port for 3 seconds and then pair it under the "everything else" category in the bluetooth menu. It's nice not to need that ridiculous dongle with the SB2.

    CPU Throttling on 15 inch Surface Book 2 after 1709?

    Got it. I was looking at max voltage. I had it cranked to run some tests to see what it's thermal limits might be. Just put a game and let it run for a hour and it maxed at 89 degrees which is fine

    CPU Throttling on 15 inch Surface Book 2 after 1709?

    As some of you pointed out, I don't know what I'm talking about. I take it this is what a bad processor looks like? The only programs running are chrome (3 tabs) and HWiNFO. Power settings are best performance (plugged it). Just want to check with some of you who know more than me before I send...
