Well... I recently had a Samsung Tab S2 (8 inch), but the screen is broken and the cost to repair very expensive. The resolution and screen is gorgeous however, and 8 inches is a nice portable readable size, so I need a replacement. The thing about Android and Apple (ipad pro) is whilst they are aimed at artists (with the pens etc) not so much the tog, and even when PS gets ported properly to iOS it still won't ever support the plugins I use I doubt (or will take forever for them to also port across), so it really looks as though Windows is what I will need to use from this kinda perspective. $899 isn't that bad, the Samsung Tab 4 for example is way more pricey. It really comes down to performance.

My NUC is rocking a Intel Core i7 6700HQ @ 2.60GHz (Skylake), 16gb DDR4 stick (can whack another one in if need be) with an Intel Iris Pro Graphics 580 (on board gfx). I can however via it's Usb C port connect an external GPU up to it if I want, it's something I am working towards but I don't game that much currently nor felt I really needed it from a photography post processing perspective.
The Surface Go 128gb would be; Intel Pentium Gold Processor 4415Y, 8gb RAM, Intel HD Graphics 615 (that's really all I got to go off..)
Originally posted by RAART I do not have NUC unit but my back-up PC is this:
with i5-4570T, 16GB RAM and 128GB ADATA SSD
Latest LR + PS runs perfectly on this and I use portable 2TB hard drive (WD NAS) to store raw and PP images.
Your biggest concern it will be RAM memory...
Yeah, but if all yer running is LR and PS and close yer browser and everything else... maybe 8gb is enough?
