Surface Book 2 for gaming
I've got my eye on a GTX 1060 version of surface book 2 to buy from hands. Now, I really liked the tablet mod, I've read a lot of reviews but none of them could answer my question. Can older surface books handle 3-4 hours heavy gaming sessions? I know these laptops aren't meant for gamers, and I'm actually looking forward to buy it as a second to-go PC, but I'd really love to hear your answers. I'm okay with doing extra work like changing battery consumption plans or whatever you may recommend. I'd like to hear how these laptops behave while performing heave tasks, because recently I heard that older models can even lose battery faster than replenish it. The reason why I've even chosen surface book 2 is because I can get it really cheap and I'm not sure I can find laptops with the same specs for that price. I'm looking for a machine that can handle such tasks as 3d modelling, programing and working with computer graphic, but the ability to do long gaming sessions would be an absolute cherry on top.
