Apparently there's a known issue with CPU and GPU high usage that can discharge the battery when it's connected to the power supply. From wikipedia:
When running workloads with high CPU and GPU usage on a 15-inch Surface Book 2 with the power mode set to "best performance", the notebook consumes more power than its 95-watt power supply can provide, and its battery discharges. If these workloads are run continuously, such as during gaming or video transcoding, the notebook eventually throttles its performance to decrease power consumption and prevent complete battery discharge
Don't know if it has been fixed. Despite this it seems like a good laptop.
I think the ultimate decision is OSX vs Windows and that depends mostly on what you do and what you need and how you use your laptop for programming and for everything else...
I googled "Surface Book 2" just to see what laptop that is and the second result was: My Surface Book 2 is sleek, fast, innovative — and I hate it.
