Which one is the best Surface Pro for AS?

[Víctor Paredes]

Hi everyone, I friend of mine want to buy a Surface Pro and is asking me about which one and with which setup will be the best to work in AS.
I'm far to be a hardware expert and really don't know much about Surface Pro. Could you help me with the answer?
Thank you very much.

I don't think that the version matters much for ASP. In general, the main issue is screen size. It's pretty cramped on a surface. ASP 11 is a little better, but not all the dialogs are resizable so it's not ideal (lot of discussion on the forum). I have an original Surface Pro with 128G and I have no performance problems. Surface Pro 3 upped the screen size so it may be better. If you're going for lowest cost the original Pro may be all you need, but the screen will be small. I wouldn't go with a 2, because the screen is just as small as the original. If you can swing the price of at least a 3 I'd definitely go with that, but I've never actually run ASP on one, so I'm not sure how much better the size of the screen "feels". Of course if you can get a 4 ...

Anyway that's my thought. Hopefully others will chime in as well.

I do a lot of work in AS11 using my Surface Pro 3, and it works great. Heavier scenes need to have Brushes turned off to play back smoothly and the right click of the pen doesn't always register as a right click, but those are the only issues I've faced. For the second issue, using the track pad or connecting a regular mouse works perfectly.
