      I'm using the i7 16gb version for big photoshop files, light CAD modelling and even rendering. AND I casually play BF4 on low settings getting like 55 fps. If you're a techie and need a light and extremely portable device, this is the one. The small screen is not perfect for fps games, but playing battlefield in a cafeteria is super pleasing. The future will only bring better drivers and better tablets like this.

      Windows 11 lowered performance by 20% on older chips that didn't have a certain chip in them, it had to emulate this chip in software, all the time, which lowered performance by 20%. All (recent) surface PC's and modern machines by other manufacturers have this chip. So most people most likely have it.
