Could anyone with a bit more knowledge in relative CPU/GPU speeds tell me whether the Surface Pro 3 (say, in the i7 configuration) is noticeably/a bit faster than my previous laptop (or even slower)?
I have a Vaio Z12 (from 2010, I think) with an i7-620M CPU and a (slightly underclocked, iirc) GT330M GPU. Even though the SSD is a 2x64 GB Toshiba in RAID 0, I guess current SSDs are a bit faster than that.
The laptop itself is still quite speedy, but the screen got some issues and sadly, nobody is building anything equivalent any more ("normal" non-ULV mobile CPU, dedicated GPU, still small and light). The Surface Pro 3 is quite sexy though and I could think about getting one, but not if my four year old laptop would be still faster (and better suited for gaming).
