Hi there,
With my Surface Pro 3 (Intel i7-4550U CPU and Intel Graphics 5000) I’ve had not so much trouble using UE4 but obviously the performance can drop pretty quickly. Since I’m only focusing on low-graphics products this is actually not so bad but still a better pc would improve my workflow, so I was thinking…
Since now I’ve been using my Surface Pro 3 Tablet/Laptop for development in UE4 and I’m considering buying the new Microsoft Surface Book (Intel Core i7-6600U CPU and Nvidia GeForce Maxwell Graphics Card). I know that the Surface Book is not for next gen gaming, but I was able to play Skyrim on my Surface Pro 3 with no problems and honestly a game with the graphics of Skyrim is beyond what I had in mind - so the surface book could be the thing for me right? You see, I’m not only going to use the Surface Book for Game Development in UE4!
It was my preference to have a tablet/pc solution because I need to be mobile: I’m also doing music recordings, a bit of video editing and sometimes artwork related stuff hence the touch support with the new and more sensitive pen comes in handy. Considering all the Facts presented here… Is there any urgent issue with the Surface Book or any important reason to not buy this product. I’m not going to buy it all too soon, I want to wait until the price goes down a little, but then… is it worth it?
Thanks for you opinions!
Have a nice Day
