Microsoft Surface Studio compatible with CC?

I use the Microsoft Surface Studio 32 GB of RAM and i7 quad core processor, and the 2TB hard fusion drive. I also hook up a 2TB Samsung 500 MB/sec mini external hard drive to it to expand storage and have blazing speeds for working with files and data. It runs Windows 10, and runs all of the Adobe CC apps, and runs them very well.

This machine is a killer machine, and the size of the display is so wonderfully large, it is truly inspiring and helpful.  It is so much more different than working with my iPAD Pro and the Apple pencil.  The Apple idea is OK, but this is so much better!  IT IS Awesome in comparison to the Apple offerings. It is also way better than working on a small screen MS Surface tablet. no comparison!

Apple has a great computer in the iMac Pro, but its cost starts at $5000, a thousand more than this complete machine, but it does not have the touch screen let alone the digitizer screen to use with the surface pencil/brush.  The Microsoft Surface Studio has TWO artist technologies that are completely missing from the Apple iMac or even Macbook Pro computers: touch screen, and DIGITIZER screen.  its a game changer. Apple chose to focus instead on FCPX for making videos, and left the artists without good tools.

Even the Wacom tablet monitors are very small, and they discontinued their large 27" monitor/digitizer recently, because it FAILED. They kept dying, and people complained that it failed also on touch screen tech. Wacom has fallen from graces, and MS Surface Studio is a real machine that works, and it works great.

I have the top of the line Surface Studio.  It works great with parts of CC.

Photoshop - amazing.  I will never use a wacom tablet again.  Seems to handle anything I throw at it in PS (I do a lot of composite work so can have literally hundreds of layers).  For people that do a lot of selections and cut outs this machine is a game changer.

Lightroom - Awesome.  No complaints.

Illustrator - no complaints but I have only done some basic graphics so far.  I like using the pen with the pen tool, though...

Premiere - Not really.  It can do ok if you like to wait around for rendering and deal with crashes. I think it is just too much even with running usb hardrives for cache and projects.

After Effects - Same deal

Audition - seems to work ok for what I do but that is related back to the Premiere so I likely will use my rendering machine for that work.

I use the Surface Pro 3 (500gb, 8gb ram) and I LOVE it;  It handles almost all Lightroom, Lightroom plugins, and Photoshop very well.   O It can also handle alot of basic Premiere stuff -- you start getting into problems with Lumetri use.  The rendering times can be kidna slow -- it's it's really nice to render on the go.  Especially while doing video, it's a good idea to shut down other sames to save memory and resources.  I have to say, I'v elearned a lot abnout Adobe on this Surface Pro.  Now tat I'm getting more serious with video, I'm looking at larger systems

I do not have one, but the original Surface Studio series uses last-generation hardware such as a quad-core Skylake CPU and a Maxwell (as opposed to the newer Pascal) GPU (and a mobile one, at that). It is equipped with a lousy SATA III hybrid combo drive instead of a good, fast m.2 PCIe SSD.

Because of this and also because of its very high price, the overall performance is nowhere near commensurate with the total cost (or put it this way, at its current street price that particular all-in-one Windows desktop PC is way too expensive for what performance it delivers).
