Which Surface Pro can run Fusion?

Anonymous — Mon, 29 Feb 2016 16:37:40 GMT

There doesn't seem to be an "other" section of the forum, so I'll just post here.

I'm on the market for a second-hand Microsoft tablet that can run Sketchbook and Fusion, and my search has led me to a Surface Pro 2. Is this powerful enough to run Fusion 360, and are there cheaper options that can as well?

Thanks in advance for any help.

It's not the final answer you want, but you should be able to compare the Surface specifications against this list of system requirements:

I run Fusion 360 on the Surface Pro 3, i7 and Intel 5500 graphics. It's the 2nd to the top-of-the-line model. The only difference between the two is the size of the hard drive.

It's good enough to get the job done.

I've got a first gen Surface pro and it runs Fusion (at least it did the last I tried.)

Its graphics are pretty weak though, so any complex models or sketches will trip it up pretty badly.
