I've been using a 13" Asus UX32VD for the past 5 years. When I travel, I have:
- Asus UX32VD laptop for work - coding, photo editing, video editing, light gaming - it's got an i7-3517U, GT 620M, 500GB SSD, 1080p IPS screen
- Smartphone
- Microsoft Surface with LTE and Wacom pen - serves as a backup in case my smartphone dies because I can pop the SIM card into it and get internet, and it also serves as my notebook for drawing, diagramming, etc.
Well, my Surface is broken and my UX32VD no longer charges the battery (might just need to replace the battery though)
I'm looking at an HP X2 1012 G2 2-in-1 laptop/tablet to replace BOTH my Surface and UX32VD, and I'm wondering if I'm actually going to see a performance increase?
Asus UX32VD:
Intel i7-3517U (1.9GHz, 2 cores, 4MB cache)
nVidia GT 620M (625Mhz, 2GB RAM, 96 CUDA cores)
12GB RAM
500GB SATA SSD
HP X2 1012 G2:
Intel i5-7300U (2.6GHz, 2 cores, 3MB cache)
Intel 620 (300Mhz - 1100MHz boosted, unsure of memory, probably no CUDA cores)
16GB RAM
500GB M.2 NVMe SSD
I'm trying to be as light weight and compact as possible. Currently the UX32VD does ok with photos and videos. Not great, but survivable. So right now I can either:
Get a normal ultrabook with discrete nVidia graphics + some cheap Atom-based LTE active stylus tablet
or
Get the HP X2 1012 G2 with LTE
