Im buying a new laptop and already made up my mind that its going to be the new MS Surface Book. I need your help deciding if the low spec model that I choose is the right one for my needs. It has Intel icore 5 8GB RAM with no dGPU (the more expensive model has Core i7 with dGPU). I will be using it to model residential and medium size office buildings using Designbuilder and probably open studio. How much slower do you think it could be relative to the higher spec model?
I know that a desktop is better for modeling, but that doesnâ??t suite my mobility needs, im also not considering laptop options other than Surface Book. I know that I higher specs model will perform better in general, but I donâ??t want to spend the extra $400 if its not going to make a bog difference, I will appreciate your insight. thanks
