The Surface Book 2 is no question, hands-down one of the best pieces of kit I've ever ever owned, it's a phenomenal machine and I've not regretted moving back to Windows for a single second (except for a decent terminal, but that's almost here too)

When the battery dies on the Surface Book, you won't be able to repair it even at a Microsoft Support center. They will just take it back and offer a cheaper price on a replacement. With an iFixit repairability score of 1, it's ridiculously difficult to do the replacement yourself too.
Having to throw out a fully functional device once the battery goes weak should be a practice that gets banned at least for the sake of the environment.

Microsoft itself does not replace batteries but UBreakIFix will replace Surface batteries for about $200.
Check out Cmder[1]. Best terminal replacement I've used on Windows.
Can echo this - I've used it for years on Windows, and find it better than iTerm or anything else on MacOS

>decent terminal
https://github.com/felixse/FluentTerminal is the closest I've found to the feel of the Mac one.
