I just want to say that this is one of the best purchases I have ever made for school. I would highly recommend buying one of these if you are studying engineering or something where you need to do a lot of hand sketches and drawings. Get the one with the dedicated GPU.
Looks fragile as frick.
would you like to name some engineering apps that are optimized for pen input?
Honestly I just used OneNote and it worked great. The profs would upload lecture slides as a pdf and you could import them with OneNote and then do your drawings alongside the material which is super helpful for things like connection details for structural engineering. The benefit of getting this thing is that you can still do excel monkey shit and some basic python/matlab without needing to get a tablet + laptop.
Buy an ad, bill

FTFY
I'll never buy another surface again when my sp4 got so hot it would make any paper it was resting ontop of while unplugged turn yellow and curl up.
When I took it in they suggested to not "use it in that type of situation" and were less than pleased when I said "You mean an office desk?"
Frick surfaces.
what happens if you put it on your lap and you are wearing only shorts
The heat of the laptop cooks your lap
A regular laptop with a wacom tablet is good enough if you just wanna take notes and make drawings and stuff
You can just put the tablet on top of your keyboard if you're space constrained in an auditorium
Might even be more convenient as you have way easier access to the keyboard while using it
>Intel CPU on a laptop
>Windows
where do you think you are, idiot?
>hey, what if we made a tablet but it actually heavy, unusable in your hands and required a keyboard you can't detach?!
Try running AutoCAD or Civil 3D with your chink IQfy tablet and see how far you get
SAAR BLOODY BENCHOD BUY THE MICROSOFT SURFACE!!!
They copied iPad Pro.
goyPad Pro can't even run the full version of excel with what-if analysis
Blame MS for that. Even M1 iPad is faster than this thing.
uh huh, according to your rigged ass benchmarks
in real world tasks apple silicon isnt that good
Yeah but you can't run SolidWorks on a fricking iPad
street shit harder ijeet
Saar, yes saar !
>curryPad
>if you are studying engineering or something where you need to do a lot of hand sketches and drawings. Get the one with the dedicated GPU.
your shitty shillware cant even handle mspaint?
what even is this OP?
> 2005 + 19
> going to college
literally ngmi
>no numpad
i would highly recommend trashing it
Laptop is such a misleading name for these form factors. You can't even use 99% of them on the lap.
except you can and you're a halfwit pedant.
Microsoft shill hands wrote this OP. Who the frick in engineering does "sketches" by hand? Pencil and paper are superior for rough shit, then you move it over to relevant CAD. They're trying to push this AI permanent memory so they can data mine products and ideas on top of all the other data mining purposes.
Frick you, my engineering pad + pencil is more than enough.
>Who the frick in engineering does "sketches" by hand?
How else are you supposed to draw your BMD and SFD?
So you do your sketches by hand then?
I'm an EE, I do all my rough work by hand first, prototype on board when needed, then I'll move over to something like KiCAD. If I need to CAD anything like enclosures, I use an old win7 pc I have set up to run an old version of Inventor, which as it turns out is already perfect for my work.
Most of my work revolves around embedded systems.
What is this format of paper called and where can I buy a bulk pack
It's engineering paper. You can get it online or at universities with engineering colleges. Sometimes college bookstores have it as well. It's pretty ubiquitous in engineering. It's designed such that when you run it through a copy machine the lines aren't visible, so it's basically suped up graph paper.
Very cool, thank you Anon.
>920
>"also check'm"
You failed, idiot.
Now try using Goal Seek in excel... oh wait... you can't... LOL
but you could do all of these without being stuck with a cucked form factor and be able to run whatever os you want just using an external tablet
buy a used Thinkpad tablet and never have to worry about the thing being fragile, +keyboard
Guy who actually bought the surface studio here, do NOT buy this piece of shit. The pen you use to draw on this thing is $80 and the battery drains like a mf. Using fricking zoom on this thing makes the laptop last THIRTY MINUTES on a full charge, so you have to constantly keep it plugged in. Even when not charging, this thing runs HOT, unless you downgrade to win10.
