Hi r/surface! I'm wondering if getting a Surface Book 3 in 2023 is worth it. I know MS technically discontinued production, no SB4 was announced, and the product is no longer available on their official Store (at least not in my region), but I could get it from local tech stores. Now, I'm wondering if the device is still good and operational ...

Answer. Hi alanbloom, Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Community. If your Surface Book 2 is used under Consumer/Personal, you may refer to this page for the Surface Diagnostic Toolkit and choose the Surface Diagnostic Toolkit for Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro under item number 2. The filename should be SurfaceDiagnosticToolkit_SA.exe.

Open Device Manager. Expand Battery. Right-click on battery drivers available and select "uninstall device". Once done, restart your Surface to reinstall the drivers automatically. If the issue still exists after following the above mentioned steps, kindly run the battery report so we can check the battery condition of your Surface device.

Look elsewhere. It is a laptop that can game. With that said, if you need the other things the Surface Book can do and you game, it works pretty darn well. Any CPU heavy game might start to have issues as this is a U series CPU, so it will throttle. But the GTX 1060 can handle a lot of things very well. Look at r/SurfaceGaming .

The ArchWiki Entry for the SB2 has been updated as well to reflect the latest changes, but now it's basically "Everything but the camera works." Nvidia GPU works. Power state, battery stats, etc works. Wifi works. The Surface Book 2 is officially the best linux laptop in my eyes. It's crazy how well this weird hardware works now.

I spent two hours on tech support for my brand new Surface Book 3 and most of that time was me trying to explain the difference between LINE LEVEL AUDIO IN and Microphone Level in. And Jonathon, I was getting similar answers to Marrion's. On my old desk top, there was a audio card with a line in and a mic-in port.
