It performed about the same or worse than my 2015 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro, which is not as good as I’d hoped from a brand-new computer released in late 2016.
However, rendering and exporting videos on the Surface Book took longer than expected. There was still some occasional stutter happening here and there when files were loading or if my timeline wasn’t rendered, but as a seasoned Premiere user this was expected behavior. But after transferring my files to the Book’s internal SSD, scrubbing through my four-minute timeline was a breeze, and cutting clips was seamless.
#BEST MAC BOOK FOR VIDEO EDITING YOUTUBW VIDEOS 1080P#
Initial impressions when using an external drive for my Premiere Pro project files weren’t great, as I encountered a lot of stuttering and lagging when trying to edit 1080p clips from a Canon C100. It took the place of my usual workhorse: a 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro with dedicated graphics. I spent nearly two weeks in DC, and brought the Surface Book with me to be my only laptop for the trip. The Surface Book that I’ve been using is the Performance Base model that is equipped with Intel’s sixth-generation Intel Core i7 processor, NVIDIA’s GTX965M with 2GB of GDDR5 memory, 1TB SSD, and 16GB of RAM.
I also was curious to see how it handled some light gaming with its new graphics card. We’ve already covered the basics of how the laptop performs for everyday use, so I spent some time with it to see if it could work as my primary go-to laptop when I need to edit videos (a big part of Microsoft’s creative pitch behind the Surface line). Its design is weird, but unique it’s portable, but still has the power to outperform most 2-in-1s in this category. There’s something about the Microsoft Surface Book that has always caught my attention whenever I see one in public.
