@ artists and designer: Surface Book or Surface Pro 4?

[Windows Central Question]

Dear artists and designer. I sold my wacom companion a few days ago. Now I need a new drawing machine. I have to decide between the surface book (i5,8gb ram,128gb) and the surface pro 4 (i5 ,4gb ram, 128gb).

Major work is drawing and sketching in case of Industrial Design (Photoshop, sketchbook pro), and a bit solidworks and alias (but this programs I will run on my desktop)

Of course the bigger screen of the surface book is better. But I read a lot about problems with the book.

And it would be nice to have the same drawing perfomance I know from my wacom cintiqs.

Do anyone can help me in this case? Thanks.

those problems that you heard of were mostly solved months ago (surface book). If you get one now and keep everything updated - you'll have a stable experience. If you do most of the drawing on a table or flat surface, get the book. But if you're looking at portability, the pro would be better but with more RAM
