oooOoh my god I am going to break my surface pro 3 over my knee

i got it specifically so I could do updates on it

but it can’t even handle photoshop and freezes up every two seconds

EVEN THOUGH ALL THE REVIEWS I READ SAID IT COULD RUN IT FINE

it’s been dumb since I got it last year but doing tonight’s update on it was like 100x more frustrating than usual holy god

4/10 would not recommend for anything more than internet browsing D<

Oh damn. o-o

I’ve been using an SP3 for updating and drawing stuff while I’m away in college and haven’t had an issue with it (aside from driver problems).

And these are 3200x2400px canvases with brush effects and the occasional shading and +200MB files. That stuff tends to rev the CPU fan to the max but I haven’t had anything crash or slow down because of it.

Then again, I don’t use Photoshop so I dunno. ‘~’

    If you break it, they’re unfixable, to boot. The whole thing’s held together with solder.

    Only got a pro one myself, and not drawn on it a whole lot really. It does have some annoying issues with the touch...
