Hello,
I am in the market for a new laptop, I have bought a Surface Book 2 i7 (8th gen) with 8GB RAM and GTX1050 and a Surface Pro i5 (7th gen) with 8 GB RAM so I can test both and return one of them.
Probably the most intense apps that I use on a daily basis are Photoshop and Dreamweaver. I have run several tests like open a bunch of high-res images and processing them on Photoshop and every single time the Surface Pro finished faster. (By a quite big margin).
On other tests, like opening dozens of PHP files on Dreamweaver, and duplicating large files (to test SSD speed) the Surface Pro also had a clerar advantage over the SB2.
Does it make sense? The SB2 is about $900 more expensive and has better specs, also Microsoft promotes it as "Powerhouse performance" but I am not seeing a performance improvement over than on paper (and supposedly) slower machine.
I think the SB2 is an overall better machine with a better design and which probably fits better on my lifestyle, but I am surprised of those differences so I am questioning myself if is it worth spending such difference basing the purchase factor on the design and not on the performance.
What do you guys think? Probably my SB2 does not work well?
