- sz4kerto 12y agoProbably not/no, it doesn't. It has an Atom X7 with 2W SDP, while the least powerful Surface Pro 3 has 6W SDP, the i5 and i7 versions are somewhere closer to 10W.
- slantyyz 12y agoWhen my Atom-based Vivotab Note runs at 100% CPU, it feels mildly warm. Which is nothing compared to when my Surface Pro 1 gets hot.
- Ravengenocide 12y ago>> It also doesn’t require a fan for cooling, which allows the device to be thinner and quieter. Seems like it doesn't have a fan, but until someone actually tests the device there is no real way to know if it will overheat or not.
- alandarev 12y agoThere is. Worst case is 100% conversion of maximum power consumption to the heat. With 2W processor, you can safely assume overheating will not be an issue. Other question would be whether processor is powerful enough to handle Windows 10 desktop applications (I am not talking about games, but even Skype is CPU hungry nowadays)
