Hey folks,
My Surface 3 (64gb, 2gb RAM) is being taken off of me at the end of the month (contract with job 1 is ending) so i'm looking for a device to replace that with a bit more oomph to take over as my 'side' system.
I'm focusing on job 2, where we do video editing / graphic design - of which I have a 15" rMBP to do the hard work (or, alternatively some desktop systems) - the MBP is mine so I could always bring it home and work on anything major, wherever.
It's just I've left it there for weeks on end because my Surface 3 replaced it. I haven't really had a use for doing anything other than web-browsing, media consumption and scriptwriting (adobe story) - few W10 apps but nothing crazy.
But now I'm looking at SP4, ideally i'd like to be able to have that as a 'pre-production' system - i.e - Storyboarding (in photoshop?), Scriptwriting & office work & media consumption. I'd like it to replace my MBP for photo editing too (not a necessity) - mainly enthusiast work in Lightroom, but I'm booked in for a wedding gig soon and would like something to handle that.
I keep umming and arring about whether the Core-M (as a solid upgrade from Surface 3) would do all that just fine, or whether or not i'd need to upgrade to an i5 for a 'just in case' scenario?
My heart atm is going towards a i5, 4gb, 128+128gbmicro SD
but i'm trying to get as much advice as possible
