System requirements (Buying Surface 3)


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

I am almost determined on buying a Surface 3 (non-pro version) with the following specs:

 

Resolution 1920 x 1280

CPU Intel Atom x7-Z8700

Quad core

1.6 GHz burst up to 2.4 GHz

 

GPU Intel Gen 8

RAM 4 GB

Storage 128 eMMC

OS Windows 10

 

Since there are no official system requirements, I just want to know how well you expect these specs to run Affinity Designer?

If anyone owns one, please do not hesitate to say it here, I would be really thankful.

 

My greetings.

I LOVE programming and vector drawing. :)

Hi SinovenatoR,

 

This should be fine as the Surface 3 uses 64-bit and has Windows 10. We have done some testing on low spec laptops which can run Affinity Windows well enough so I don't think you will have anything to worry about.

For other people reading this thread, please note the Surface (non-Pro) and Surface 2 (non-Pro) have Windows RT and will not run Affinity, so the Surface 3 is the first non Pro model that would run Affinity software. All of the Surface Pro models (1, 2, 3 & 4) would run Affinity Windows versions.
