zoomer Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 With those Sub Notebooks coming like Surface Pro, that have a "real" OS, RAM and CPU but are still under VW's hardware requirements by not having dedicated GPU or VRAM on the lower end. Of course no CAD workstation for daily usage, when you are far from office, will these still allow to open VW Files for smaller annotations or initial project settings, and are just too slow to really work or will they not open at all or have parts of the software not working ? I think something like a maxed out Surface Book has the minimum requirements at least for VW 2017 now, but is a bit pricy and I think a Surface Pro4, without dedicated GPU, has the better form factor.

With those Sub Notebooks coming like Surface Pro, that have a "real" OS, RAM and CPU
but are still under VW's hardware requirements by not having dedicated GPU or VRAM on the lower end.
Of course no CAD workstation for daily usage, when you are far from office,
will these still allow to open VW Files for smaller annotations or initial project settings, and are just too slow
to really work or will they not open at all or have parts of the software not working ?
