Does anyone use a Surface Book/Surface Pro 4

Thiking about buying a surface book or a pro 4 for photoshop (drawing and graphics) and just some other day to day usage, are they worth there money or are there better alternatives? Typically I don't use a laptop/tablet but the drawing aspect is quite appealing
I had a Pro 2 a number of years ago. I liked the device. Seemed fairly powerful.

Do you want something Windows and not Mac?

I just sorta want something not too pricy that I can use on the go (Also with the touchscreen that'll allow me to sketch)

Can get a Surface Book i7 8GB 256GB SSD from work for £400 or a Surface pro 4 for around the same price. Wouldn't it only be the ipad pro that could allow this functionality?
I almost bought one a while back, but they were too much out of my price range for what I wanted and it didn’t make sense. However, I’m in need for a very portable device now and I might look into getting one soon

If you're into arts/drawing in the slightest, you'll love this device.

See, I have a terrible tenancy of buying things, using them a little then never touching it again aha. For example my smart watch, Bridge camera, My old laptop, nintendo DS, nintendo switch etc 🤣

Np, they do provide US Shipping but i doubt it will make it any cheaper for you since its like $100 shipping to USA
My friend has a surface pro and he loves it. I just recently bought a Lenovo Flex and it's perfect for college and coding. I'd highly recommend

See i'm not sure whether to go for the pro or book, the surface book seems to be an alright all rounder

If you're looking for more mobile and on the go I'd say maybe the book. If you're going to be sitting and relaxing I'd say maybe the pro if you need a little more specs

Isn't the Book the one that has the detatable base with the graphics card in it? Seems from reviews the pro looks a little laggy in photoshop when drawing but can't find anything about the book
No, but I'd always want one to bring to class. It looks so worth it
