Id just say you and your computer pitted against Spock and his computer you are at a serious disadvantage. No disrespect of your scientific credentials intended.The first ten days with my Surface Book have been very productive. I'm glad about this purchase.
Though @mtalinm say it is wrong for me because it is not "quad-core and full-voltage", I like it because it gets the job done, and plays my tunes while I work. I spent much of today streaming my music to a Bluetooth speaker across the room.
Critics could always play "topper" and name some features any given machine does not provide, but this one is mine, not theirs.To each, his own!
