    Privacy Filter for Surface Books

    Beautiful job. The gold astronaut visor look is slick. I'm tempted but my wife and I will be watching Netflix on occasion at off angles.

    Must-have SB2 acessories?

    I'm waiting for there to be a tempered glass screen protector that fits the 15 inch variant. Does anybody have experience with glass screen protectors and surface pens? Do they interfere with sensitivity or anything? I really don't know how stylus' and digitizers work beyond the most basic...

    Must-have SB2 acessories?

    I'm tempted to buy that micro sd card. I already have 256gb in my surface pro that I should just swap out considering that I only use it to quickly transfer files between my desktop and laptop.

    Thanks. I like it. I think it'll serve most situations well.

    Macbook cases that fit SB2 15 inch and quesiton about hinge

    I have to say, that's really nice and a decent form factor. I think I'll grab one of those in burgundy as homage to my soon to be obsolete typecover. The price is certainly right.

    Macbook cases that fit SB2 15 inch and quesiton about hinge

    That definitely looks like it would fit. I'm hoping for something I can slip into my backpack's laptop pocket for when meeting clients. I kind of need a backpack since I have to cart around a lot of stuff (books, binders, galley proofs, physical art supplies, etc) often far away from were I find...

    Macbook cases that fit SB2 15 inch and quesiton about hinge

    Crud. I wasn't taking into account the difference in aspect ratios. 3 to 2 will definitely be a problem even with the 16 to 10 macbook cases. Well I might just end up having to make my own. I have a black sheepskin that I don't have plans for. I might shore it down to 1/4 inch and use the...

    SB2 15" battery life

    It's photoshop that worries me. That will be firing up the 1060 a lot. Even with intel integrated graphics on my surface pro 3, it kills my battery. OH! I just remembered that I have a usb c external 20,000mAh battery. That might eke some extra hours when I need them.

    Macbook cases that fit SB2 15 inch and quesiton about hinge

    Thanks, I'll be keeping that insert. I guess I'll be the test subject for cases. I might have to find cases for older macbooks, back a few years when they were chunky. Worst case scenario is two cases with the screen and base detached.

    SB2 15" battery life

    Naturally. We all use computers different not to mention that we all multitask like crazy. Flash adds running in the background of 10 open chrome windows while downloading GB from a cloud service while streaming music off youtube. I wasn't expecting 17 real world hours but I was hoping for 8...

    CPU Throttling on 15 inch Surface Book 2 after 1709?

    100 percent. I got the warranty. I always do on laptops over a grand. I've put them all to use. Usually it's only for a traditional HDD failure or charging port failure both of which aren't likely with the SB2 but at over 3k. 150 bucks is cheap for not having to worry about it.

    Macbook cases that fit SB2 15 inch and quesiton about hinge

    I have one coming and I'm not sure what case will fit it. Macbook cases are plentiful and I'm wondering if anybody has experience with 15 inch Macbook pro cases fitting the SB2? I'd be ordering online so I won't be able to just check myself. Also I'm a little worried about the hinge not...

    CPU Throttling on 15 inch Surface Book 2 after 1709?

    Considering that it remained stable at that load through the test is a good sign. I really wouldn't worry about it considering that you'll never reach those levels in real world use. Outside of stability, longevity of the chip is the only other concern and there doesn't appear to be anything...

    The unit is abnormally hot

    Have you used other surface products under heavy load? My surface pro 3, if I"m using it to play a game or compiling video will get uncomfortably hot. I simply attributed it to the metal housing efficiently transferring heat from the heat sink. If you or somebody you know has access to a IR...

    That's a bit of good news. This has been an interesting thread.

    Cool, give us an update. I'll test the vive out eventually.

    Nvidia drivers

    What screen protector did you end up getting? Do screen protectors mess with pen sensitivity? I'm not sure if I'll get one now or when glass ones come out.

    Nvidia drivers

    I've never heard of a reason not to keep your drivers updated. Well outside of the rare bugged driver but I've never actually experienced that. This will be my first (real) mobile graphics card though.

    SB2 15" battery life

    I'm a little sad at the battery life claims. I can't quite tell if it's usage habits, faulty units, chrome or what is causing the disparate results from person to person. I'm sure that 7 hours worst case will be fine but man, I'd love to not have to worry about charging from when I get up to...
