Microsoft Surface Book 2

Overall, the Surface Book 2 15" is one of the single best PCs I've even researched, much less owned. It is a pleasure to use, and there was obviously great care in it's design. For being a premium level device however, there are some definite drawbacks. First, whoever decided that there is $400 in value for no change to the device other than an increase of 256 GB to the internal storage needs to reassess that. For us customers, go spend half that on an external SSD (which will be limited by the fact that the USB-C port is not Thunderbolt 3, and no one seems to know if it is gen 1 or gen 2 speeds) and call that good. Second, the device actually draws more power than the charger provides. Isn't addressing that sort of issue covered in first level computer design courses? Microsoft seems well aware of this, and rather then letting the device die they throttle it under sustained load. To Microsoft, either don't market the device as a workstation or get it in line with what you say it does.
