Sabbatical Week One

Greetings following my first week of sabbatical, and what a week it was!

First thing I did was that I went looking for a new personal laptop to take on my adventures, since my MacBook from 2011 was not very peppy anymore and I didn’t want to take my work laptop out on outdoor adventures and my iPad doesn’t cut it. I looked all around for something that had dedicated graphics and performance as well looked nice and lots of functionality. I looked at both Macs and Windows machines and found my sweet spot. I tried out the Microsoft Surface Book 2, and loved it.

The I7 processor based laptop has 16Gb of RAM, 512Gb SSD, a dedicated GPU, and the screen detaches and you can use a pen or touch the screen. It runs most any desktop software I want from AutoCAD to Revit, Fusion 360 to Photoshop.The magnesium shell, battery life, tablet conversion, pens responsiveness as well as high resolution screen is perfect for me. So far so good and nice to edit photos and videos of my sabbatical.
