Hi,
I've been recently looking into the Surface machines and narrowed it down to the Laptop or Book. What I'm debating in terms of specs is: The Laptop quad-core i7 with has no GPU computing or the Book dual-core i7 with GPU computing?
I plan on using whichever Surface for the sake of remote machine learning work, finishing my undergrad, and for graduate school in a few (1-3) years, which will presumably be in data analytics/science/ML. I plan on getting the 16RAM, 512SSD for whichever I choose.
I know that image recognition/signal processing for Python's TensorFlow highly recommends using GPU, but is the quad to dual core trade-off worth it? When is the best time to buy- Cyber Monday?
Thanks!
The laptop only has dual core. Just so you are aware

does it have thunderbolt for external gpu
>>62205182
what is that?

an external interface allowing high data traffic what would be a requirement if you plug in an external cpu into your laptop

IPad Pro, surface pros have pretty shitty battery life when working moderately throughout the day.
You can get a fully loaded iPad Pro with 4g LTE coverage and keyboard and apple pencil for less than a loaded surface book or pro.

Some people require an actual operating system that runs real software though...

Can't run matlab or any design software on that. Don't think it can run autocad.

lmao good luck taking these apart if you have to.
Just get a new-ish thinkpad

>taking laptops apart
lmao what a nerd
>>62204631
look for the 6700HQ, 7700HQ or xeon on a laptop
the rest is just dual core trash

What a cuck.
