Living Room / Re: Surface Pro 4 (etc); observations from long term use?
« on: September 26, 2016, 11:56 AM »
My Surface 3 is an Atom, with 4B of RAM. It does okay with browsing and Plex playback.
That is pretty much all I used it for.
I hope to use my Surface 4 as a desktop replacement. I am not a coder, gamer, nor graphic artist.
Still, given there is no way to easily upgrade I went with the i5 with 8GB of RAM as a good middle ground.
I already notice less battery life than with the Atom, the i7 just wasn't right for my new situation.
Given the prices, used at least, the i5 seems to be a good middle ground. Also in that it comes with the 8GB of RAM.
