Hey Micah, how's the Surface Pro 4 handling the 4K output and using resource hungry apps like Adobe?

Hey Kevin, what do you think about Franz? I used Atom in the past, but it was so damn slow and then I switched to VSCode and that thing is really the most performance optimised Electron app out there.

Atom runs smooth on my pc. Got it connected to Github and it works just fine. In the past I also had problems with that, but they are not anymore.

Franz is ok for telegram and facebook messenger. Whatsapp not working for me… dont know why.

Yasin, it does pretty well, full screen video is where it struggles a lot. There is also a weird issue where the screen will go black for a couple seconds and then come back. Happens mostly when watching videos, and other non-specific random times. I'm not sure if it's a dock issue, monitor issue or Surface issue. (Just writing this comment it has flashed about 4 times, which is more frequent than it usually does).

Other than that, I often run Photoshop, a couple instances of Visual Studio, multiple browsers, Slack, Skype, outlook, Onedrive and Onedrive for business all day long.

Next time I upgrade, I'll likely go with the latest version of Surface Book rather than a Surface Pro. I love the Surface Pro form factor but I spend 95% of my time at a desk so having the power of a Surface Book would be nice and I can still pop off the screen as a tablet if needed. And I'd like the larger screen on the Surface Book.

As I’m working at System administrator in Windows Domains i know the struggles with Windows 10 🤯(good that I‘m starting at a new job in mid March).

My (still) chef has a surface book and he also has some issues. And the Surface Book (maxed out) has a pretty strange keyboard. Some keys are not in the same height, two or so are like pressed on one side.
