[Equipment Configurations] Microsoft Surface
1 Comment
Thanks for bringing up this question!
This is actually something I had been meaning to research for a couple of weeks.
Unfortunately, the Surface with the m3 processor would not be able meet our system requirements.
It is a dual-core processor and would really be ideal for office use like Microsoft Office.
Video-rendering programs like EasyWorship really require a quad-core processor such as the i5 or i7 processors offered with other options of the Microsoft Surface.
On another note, the vast majority of the Microsoft Surface options contain an integrated Intel video card.
The top Intel video card, the Intel Iris Plus 640, is the only option that approaches our minimum requirement; however, even this card will probably not work as desired.
The Surface Studio does meet all requirements necessary to run EasyWorship6 though.
This version should actually meet our recommended specifications, as well.
All-in-all, I would highly recommend looking at a different line of laptops for EasyWorship6.
The price difference between the Surface Studio and an alternative recommended-specification laptop could be extremely significant.
For instance, there are several alternative options that meet or exceed our recommended specifications for $700-$1200 on multiple computer sites online. (e.g. Newegg, Amazon, TigerDirect, etc.)
