Surface Book Is Microsoft's Glorious New Laptop - twice as fast as macbook pro
- Thread starter mocoworm

Not sure if this has been posted but
It's 3 times as fast as the macbook pro 13" model in some tests.
Also there's a cheaper model available with the dedicated graphics card now.

I'm stuck between the Surface Book i7 w/ 16 gigs + 512 SSD + dGPU or waiting for the Macbook Pro refresh. Decisions, decisions...
I'll primarily use it for Max modeling, rendering, using the Substance packages for texturing and Unity and Unreal development. With some light gaming mixed in like Darkest Dungeon, FTL, that sorta thing.

Wow that would be exactly what I want, very nice Microsoft.
I got to play with one at Best Buy today. I love how light the screen is when it is detached. It is so so light. It seemed perfectly usable as a standalone tablet. Keyboard was nice but boy is that screen bouncy when it is attached. Really bouncy.
The touchpad mouse seemed to lock up a lot which I thought was disappointing. Sometimes I could eject the screen, sometimes not. I loved that fact that there was a system tray app that detached the screen.
Dunno what I want to do. Stay with my SP3 i7, go to a SP4 i5, splurge on a Book.

I'm tired of Windows laptops with crappy driver support. My ASUS is just a little over a year old, and while they released some Win 10 drivers, they haven't gotten the multitouch trackpad working (I don't care too much since the diver in Win 8 would use 100% CPU). Also sometimes it won't wake from sleep. It's not the newest model, so they obviously don't care.
I'm pretty sure MS would never let something like that happen. Like how Google supports Nexus and Apple their products.
