They are unsatisfied with the fact that the Surface Book 2 slows down in performance when unplugged from the wall. Their reaction is understandable considering that a high-end laptop should by definition be a mobile computer. Here is what one user had to say about this issue on the Microsoft Community forums: The problem is caused by the fact that the Surface Book 2 has been constructed to supply 95 watts of power. Unfortunately, this amount of power is not enough to run all the components of the laptop at full speed. The laptop requires around 105 watts of power to be able to run all the hardware contained. Microsoft decided to use the Nvidia chip and force it to make up for the difference in power.
