Hello. I'm looking to reduce my tech spendings as much as possible.
Ultimately, I would like a new Tablet and a new Ultrabook/Gaming Laptop.
However, recent circumstances have limited me to choosing one or the other.
That said, I'm Considering the Microsoft Surface Pro 3.
Intel Core i7 ( 1.7GHz - 3.3GHz ) - 256 GB storage and 8 GB of RAM - $1,549
The specifications are really impressive for a tablet device, but obviously cannot be compared to the performance that an ultrabook would offer.
According to my research, it seems to run some graphically intense software at Decent speeds.
My question is: How Slowly would Inventor Pro 2015 run on a Microsoft Surface Pro 3? Would it run at a reasonable pace? Would it run slowly, but good enough for mobile use when I am away from work? If this tablet simply does not have the guts to execute a a few simple features, Is there a tablet that will? Do you have any other suggestions?
I've got Inventor 2014 installed on a Surface Pro 1, and it works pretty good. So that's an i5 with only 4GB. On must stuff it's almost as snappy as my work PC with a quad core Xeon.
Obviously rendering takes a long time and can kill the battery in around an hour! But generally, apart from the small screen, it's very usable.
it will run, i got 2014 running on an atom processor, (like a dog) also take a look at the Razer edge pro, fatter but specs look good
I did consider the Razer Edge Pro. However it's design and features didn't quite suit my needs or taste. Based on this discussion I feel that the Surface Pro 3 will be an acceptable solution to my problems. That said - I really hope that I can one day find a tablet with a decent GPU as well. If anyone can find a Tablet or Hybrid laptop with a GPU (other than the Razer Edge Pro), please don't hesitate to contact me!
Using Inventor with OneNote has really helped me. Take a screenshot, sketch over it in OneNote. The OneNote app on the surface is lovely and sketching is smooth n slick
I use Inventor 15 and 16 on a Surface Pro 3, and it mostly works fine. The small screen is a drawback, but for showing people the work while traveling, or for making field edits, it's good. The screen features are fine enough, just small.
