Does the 15" Surface Book 2 really have battery-drain issues? That depends ...

Here's a closer look at what is happening with the alleged battery drain of the 15-inch Surface Book 2 during intense gaming.

Microsoft's Surface Book 2 has been on the market for a few weeks now, letting potential issues and limitations be discovered. While reviews for Surface Book 2, especially the 15-inch version (limited just to the U.S. market so far) have been overwhelmingly positive, it wouldn't be a Surface launch without at least some controversy.

In my review, I noted that in certain more extreme conditions, the 15-inch Surface Book 2 with its powerful NVIDIA GTX 1060 graphics card could drain the battery even when plugged into an outlet. The problem was first spotted by The Verge's Tom Warren before our review went to press, letting us verify the claim.

Since then, a lot of discussion around the topic has sprouted up on the internet, and today and I'll break down what seems to be happening and whether it's a big deal.
