Surface Book

they seem quite nice indeed

>wat is price

>>59424236
If price wasn't a concern, I'd just go for a jacked up Dell Precision or a Macbook.

>>59424683
>If price is no object

>what is reading comprehension

>>59424756
ugh, my Thinkpad Carbon X1 is a better option than that but the Surface Book is staggeringly nicer in look and feel... even being a richfag it's absurdly expensive though for a disposable tech item...

O shit I've been here too long and only read the meme arrows

I was at microcenter over the weekend and tried out the one they have on display. Felt so nice to work on. If I had the money I would have bought it right there.

>>59424908
Oops didn't mean to quote

They good for dual-booting?

>>59424236
because the surface book 2 will feature an even better hinge

I'm not giving any money to MS because I'm a freetard

Bump for this

>>59424931
Define "good".

>>59426188
Basically just compatibility. Will the network/wifi stuff work with most Linux ditros?

>>59426212
Network stuff: yes. Keyboard stuff: extra effort. Touchscreen stuff: last time I checked no.

The gpu is actually shittier than the integrated graphics.

false... in what realm is a 940m or a 965m ever worse than godawful Intel HD integrated graphics

>>59426349
Theres actual percormance testing of it and it actually doesnt run any better compared to integrated models.

I bought a Surface Pro 4 for 800 swiss francs, dunno what's expensive about it.
Was in Mediamarkt for sale, it's the i5 Edition that normally goes for 1300 if I'm not wrong.

Pretty nice, it's a 10/10, recommend it to anyone.

Different product desu, surface book is a convertible laptop while surface pro is a convertible tablet. Pls Google.

>>59426463
Show me

>baller screen
>glossy
Hmm

>>59428103
As far I'm concerned, the Surface Book screen can be undocked and be used as a tablet, in the end it's the same shit, what changes is the I/O, one can be a full blown Laptop while the other one has a keyboard cover that dock with magnets.

Or am I wrong?

>>59428429
Forgot to mention that yeah, in terms of price, there is a huge difference between the two products.

> the best
What? What do you mean, "hacks and workarounds" for the best? It's like eating a raw Beef Wellington and pretending it's not a big deal it's undercooked.

>>59428103
They're both fucking tablets, both with the same CPU, one just has a gigantic battery and/or GPU in its detachable keyboard

>>59428493
OP's wording is pretty shit, they aren't hacks or workarounds. And even if they were, it's not like there's anything better on the market.

As usual, it's not a matter of what's best, but what's the least shitty option.

>>59424236
As someone who has had one, it's not very good IMO.
Pen bugs out and loses pressure sensitivity often.
Sounds like a hair dryer on high when browsing let alone using an art program.
Gets pretty hot when with a case.
Outside of a pen with pressure sensitivity, it doesn't have the functionality of a Wacom tablet with reprogrammable buttons.
Charger comes unplugged easily.

You're better off with a laptop and a Wacom tablet, or if you're looking for a small digital sketchbook get a Galaxy tab a with s pen. Surprisingly comfy, good for art with medibang and it doesn't get hot/sound like a blow dryer. Got mine for $150 on eBay, a fourth of the cost of a base models surface.
