Hmm , very good points.

I think it might be better to invest into a strong laptop with great cpu and gpu.


I think I will take a good look at Sadjads suggestions. I’m will to sacrifice tablet portion for performance anyday.

My apologize for not replying sooner been rather busy!

Judging from people’s comments an reflecting on what I want to accomplish, I wonder if it would be viable to get a laptop with better GPU and Ram ?

The Tablet part of the surface book is very enticing to me especially because it gets rid of the drawing tablet setup stage and being on the go a lot would , it would only make sense.

A friend of mine recommended a ASUS fx504

I5-8300H CPU Quad core 8 threads (8TH GEN)
1050ti 4GB
8GB DDR4 (up to 32gb)
240 gb ssd

But I think it might be too weak for what I want. In terms of laptops that meet good standards for rendering and fx what do you guys recommend?

If it’s an option to upgrade ram on the surface book I would fully do it but I think it’s pretty hard to do so.

Thanks again for the help !

Heyall !

Im an animator and currently work as a 3D modelling in a company in Ontario and I am thinking in purchasing a portable laptop 2in 1 for my own personal portfolio needs.

I’m currently looking at Surface Book 2 15in , i7 . GTX 1060 model

I’m hoping to work on making 3D visual effects in Houdini along with modelling , but I also intend on doing work in Harmony regarding 2D animation that’s why I’m looking for something that can double over as a tablet.

Any input and suggestions before I make the purchase would be amazing !

Thanks for the time out of your busy schedules
