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.

      I think we pick it up and then someone else ends up emerging as the QB next year and we end up cutting him in year 5 and eating it.  That would be the most on brand thing to happen.

      Film on Panthers defensive failure. Same scheme issue over and over

      Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.

      The funny part is she looks older and not in a good way...
