So you got the book with the dedicated gpu? The one with the Nvidia 1060 or 1050 in it? :salute:
Yeah it has the 1060 in there. My whole adobe suite works well without hickups. I dont see much of a difference with the surface pen in comparisons to apple pencil. Thats one thing I liked about the ipad. Most reviewers said that the ipad was better for draeing and such and after s week or so, I would agree but just slightly. Definetely not enough to sway away

I wouldnt get it because they just updated the base core model from 2 cores to quad( about 3 weeks ago), without increasing the retail price.

I have a switch for that.

Keep your 100lb laptops at home bro.

But its odd that this thread was upped, right when im about to upgrade to the Surface Book 2.

I've started to get heavily into photography and im working on a film as well. I need a laptop that can handle Photoshop and Video editing.

I will be selling this thing soon.

my coworker got a SB2 and swears by it. Plays XB Game pass on it and all kinds of shyt.

I see a lot of them on sale though, but always the 13.5 inch. Trying to hit a lick on a 15 inch version.

13.5 is straight unless you are primarily using it for media consumption(movies/games) and even then :patrice:I have the surface book 1 and never felt like I needed a bigger screen YMMV :manny: FWIW I got it in 2015 and the thing still works beautiful even dropped it on my driveway by accident because I didn’t fully zip up my back pack(about a 4 foot drop)...couple of dents but other then that sh!t still works flawlessly it’s built like a tank probably could stop bullets from small caliber guns:blessed:The battery life is getting flabby not sure if MS is doing the apple thing by fukking up battery life with each update on older products to force you to upgrade to newer sh!t:jbhmm:

Sb2 is a great laptop if you want touch, workbook capabilities, pen, etc all in a lightweight quality package.

If you travel a lot and plan to use it in flight I'd recommend the 13.5 over the 15 if you don't fly first class.
