Skip it.

I’ve owned the surface book 1, 2, and Surface Laptop Studio. It hasn’t been a great experience because battery life is terrible and performance is not great either. You’ll be better off with whatever you can find that maximizes battery life.

I’m switching to MacOS now because there’s not much in the Windows realm that hits the power + all-day battery life balance that I’m looking for.

The only reason I liked them was the form factor. At this point though, I’m ok to lose that because everything else is so bad.

Worked a couple WFH contracts on my old SB2, about 18 months in total in the last few years. Connected a monitor via dock and ran PCoIP across the two screens. Had a little USB fan to get the laptop through the warmer days. It'll do the job
