Surface Pro 4 and Adobe CC

I run the CC apps on both Windows and Macs at my studio, including a Windows Surface Pro 3, the predecessor to yours.

Runs perfectly!

On your system, the 8GB of RAM might become maxed out if you do long InDesign documents with lots of graphics, but regular projects will be fine.

The 256GB hard drive will fill up quickly so be sure to empty the Windows trash can frequently, delete temp files (see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026616/windows-10-disk-cleanup ), and move any unused project files to an external drive, cloud backup (like OneDrive, DropBox, etc.), file server, NAS, or wherever you store your long-term materials. You might see warnings from Photoshop that the scratch disc is full, another limitation to your small hard drive. Just clear some space on the drive as mentioned above.

I love the Surface Pro. I love flipping between the touch screen, built-in track pad, and an external mouse, as well as using the stylist for Photoshop selections, drawing in Illustrator, and signing forms/contracts.  And I love using the Surface as not only a full sized workstation, but also as a lightweight, purse-friendly tablet that I can take anywhere. And let Microsoft install the Windows updates; the latest versions have added many new creativity tools to the OS.

Microsoft has really beat the market on this type of device. When I switch to my Macs, I always feel like I've been put in a straightjacket. The Mac OS is fine, it's the lack of an excellent touch screen and stylist that holds me back on the Macs.

Yes, I'm in love with the Microsoft Surface Pro. Never thought I'd ever utter those words!

Hi,

As informed by Roger, it is compatible with Surface Pro 4. You certainly can use Adobe apps on it.
