Anyone here have or has used the Microsoft Surface Book 2?

I am going to be using it for;
Adobe Photoshop (Drawing)

Autodesk Sketch Book (Sketching)
Autodesk Maya/3DS Max (3d Modeling)

Microsoft Project (Producing work)
Microsoft Office (Common Class work)
Microsoft Studio (Programming)

Unity (Game Design)
Unreal Engine (Game Design)

To Note: I have a strong Computer, so if the 3d Modeling or Game design is too intensive for long term work, I can still use that.
I also plan to get a drawing Monitor in the feature. (Not sure if Cintiq yet, or off brand)

I do have another thread, and its made me lean towards this specific Laptop.

But can use that topic for reference.

My mate owns a Surface Book. He said it can run Microsoft Office really well. He also said he had some small issues when using Maya. I'll get some more info and keep you posted
