I'm ready to buy another laptop from my old Toshiba Satellite core i7 that I don't have Mercury playback. Does anybody know if the Surface Pro 7 hasCPU Quadcore Hyperthreading and Adobe certified Nvidia quadro 4800? I like the Surface Pro 7 but I need a laptop I can do light editing.

Thanks

    Since you answered Averdahl's reply, I would like to add additional info:

     

    Although no Surface Pro tablet computer offers a discrete GPU at all, the latest i5- and i7-powered models are now beginning to offer quad-core hyperthreaded Ice Lake CPUs. However, they have to rely solely on the integrated Intel Iris Plus graphics, which is about as powerful as a low-end discrete GPU when it comes to performance in OpenCL GPU acceleration MPE mode. And like all other non-NVIDIA GPUs, they support only OpenCL - no CUDA whatsoever - for GPU acceleration in Windows.

    No, from what i gather none of the Surface computers are aviable with a discrete graphic card such as a Nvidia card.

     

    Personally i would go with a Asus laptop from their gaming series. None of them are aviable with a Nvidia Quadro card but unless you need 10-bit output from the card any of the Nvidia GTX or RTX series will do the job as good.

    Averdahl,

    I researched more after I posted and realized Surface computers just don't offer what I want. Nice computer, I just don't think I can make it work. The Asus computers look better. Thanks for the tip.
