Before I get any of the responses of that is not what this machine is made for, that is part of what I want it for. Basically I was thinking about purchasing the Surface Pro 3 i5 8gb or the Surface Pro 4 i5 4gb. These are in the budget that I have. I need it for work but for an added bonus I figured why not get a computer/tablet that can play real computer games. I have seen the videos online that it's possible and tbh I don't really care about perfect graphics because this wouldn't be my main gaming system just my traveling one. 

Does anyone have any personal experience playing in games on these devices and does it get too hot or unplayable? Should I go for the older version but more ram or the newer version and less? For those that don't know unfortunately you can't upgrade the ram by yourself on these.

Basically the games that I'd be playing are Skyrim, Mass Effect, Dragons Age, etc. 

Thanks!

You'll be looking at medium settings and lower resolutions. I want a surface as well, the new ones look so good! But I'm not looking to do more than get back into Lord of the Rings Online.  Maybe some light editing.

Usually discrete graphics are always better than integrated.

Unfortunately they seem to be having all sorts of problems since their release. Honestly it will not affect me purchasing one. I still will but I hope they fix them while I wait for a Black Friday deal.

You may be the first person to ever say this.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
