Laptop (or Surface Pro) for Photoshop, Zbrush

[Rokhound]

Hi all!

I'm currently looking to buy a laptop to primarily use Zbrush and Photoshop.

I eyeing this one: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154594&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL062117CA&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL062117CA-_-EMC-062117-Index-_-na-_-34154594-L0C

A co-worker suggested I look into a Surface Pro 4 instead. I have a very little experience with the Surface and honestly am a bit skeptical.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I wouldn't recommend a Surface Pro. Its not upgradable. I'd go with a laptop that can be upgradable w/ a touchscreen.

SP4 in my personal opinion has a small screen Vs a laptop.

Thanks Slow! I didn't consider screen size at all to be honest. Cant believe I let that one slipped by.

The laptop is much better than the sp4. I would try and buy a laptop with a quadrino card for zbrush as geforce cards are made for gaming. These will be more expensive.
