Surface Pro Users?

chris.faber@cswoodwork.com

Hi all, I have two related questions. I'm looking for experience from any Surface Pro users, and also anyone running 16GB RAM.

We're looking to purchase some new hardware and thinking about Surface Pros with Snapdragon X Elite processors now that ARM is supported. This would eliminate the need to purchase both laptops and iPads for PMs. We currently have 32GB RAM on all of our machines, but the difference between 16 and 32 is $800 on a Surface Pro. I think 16GB might be sufficient for staff that are just reading and marking up shop drawings and not using any CAD software, but I'm nervous because no one here has attempted running Bluebeam on 16GB.

Any thoughts and comments based on your experience is welcome. Thank you.

Chris,

Might I suggest purchasing a single unit of each and doing to good old fashioned bench testing to see what works best for your environment.

At work I currently run a Surface Pro, but it has 32GB of RAM and an Intel i5 processor. I have not heard any testimonials of Revu running on a snap dragon yet so I'm not sure what you could expect. That said, I pulled the below from Google:

Known Limitations

Bluebeam PDF Printer: Native ARM versions cannot use the dedicated Bluebeam PDF printer. You must print your documents using the Microsoft Print to PDF feature instead.
Legacy Plugins: Some CAD and Office plugins may have compatibility issues when running natively on ARM architecture.
