Hi
I am an art & graphic design student and considering buying Surface Pro 2 mainly due its pen capabilities (pressure). From what I have gathered so far, this machine should be just fine for 2D work and very likely struggle with advanced 3D tasks, due to lack of dedicated graphics card. The machine I work on right now is a 4 yrs old vaio f11z1e (quad 1.6, 8gb ram, ssd) - I would like to see more horsepower but I guess I can live with it as long there is no egregious heat and fan noise. Are there any graphic designers / artists around here, who consider a purchase or have bought SP2 already? If so, would you be kind enough to share your impressions?
Thanks
