So the bottom line here is can I get by with the Surface Pro 8 which would be my first choice or do you members think the lack of a high end graphics card would put me in the same boat with the tablet?Īt that point then I would be relegated to the Studio and just have to bite the bullet and not care so much about portability (which still stinks but what are ya going to do?).Īs always I appreciate the time you members take to reply and I thank you in advance. I know there should be a significant increase in performance going from 16GB RAM I have now to the 32GB so either way I win there. Intel® Core™ i7 models: NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 Ti laptop GPU with 4GB GDDR6 GPU memory Quad-core 11th Gen Intel® Core™ H35 i7-11370H Quad-core 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1185G7 Processor, designed on the Intel® Evo™ platform Specs between the 2 devices I am looking at are pretty close:

Also I would like to stick with the Surface line up as my “Work At Home” peripheral setup leans heavily on the Surface Dock and while I could change everything if I switched manufactures? I would rather not because I thnk my wife would kill me in my sleep. I also am a road warrior at times so the I prefer the lightest package I can get away with. SO still hoping to get away from these multiple devices I am thinking about upgrading.

I have done it but sometimes I hate myself for it. Fast forward 2 years and that’s when I usually start shopping because I hate waiting until the end of life for my devices. Little did I realize that the NVIDIA was in the base which significantly slowed up my Sketchup program. I invested in it so I could utilize the detachable screen, thinking I could get away from my iPad Pro and start to simplify my life by migrating to 1 tablet for everything. i7, 16 gigs of RAM, NVIDIA Card and sizable hard drive.

I have had my Surface Book 2 for just about 2 years now and at the time it was the best that they offered. I did research this a tad but came away with just about the same amount of questions as I did before the research.
