No models of the SP4 give you a discrete GPU option.įor most shoppers we'd recommend skipping the entry-level (Core m3) Surface Pro 4 and going with at least the second-tier Core i5 model. If you buy one of the higher-end Surface Books with discrete GPU, you'll get an extra graphics boost for games and graphic-intensive apps like Photoshop or Lightroom (though, for what it's worth, the Core i5, integrated GPU models of both devices handle Photoshop and Lightroom just fine). Our Core i5 review units benchmarked about the same in Geekbench 3, despite the entry-level Book having double the RAM. Performance will depend on which model you go with. Consider this, if anything, a slight advantage for the Book. The Surface Book has that thicker, wider and heavier base, but I love rapping out articles on the Surface Pro 4 just about as well.
Typing is a pleasure on both Surfaces – both have snappy-feeling keys and big glass trackpads. Text and images look razor-sharp in both laptop mode and tablet mode. Screen quality is awesome on both devices, with the same crisp (267 PPI) pixel density. Microsoft was a little slow adjusting to this new world we live in, where high-end Apple products often set the tone for the rest of the industry, but now Redmond is making lust-worthy products of its own and playing that game as well as anyone – including Apple. They have similar magnesium builds, and feel just as premium as any Apple device does. Build quality is top-notch on both devices.
