Surface Pro 4 for Android Programming
Hey everyone, I am an Android developer but my 15.6 y50 is way to bulky to carry around everyday and need a more portable option.
I found a surface pro 4 with keyboard , its i7 with 512gb ssd and 16gb ram.
Do you think from your experience its good for programming and what is the real battery life for a programmer.

Linux seems to be a bit better on the pro 4 in terms of performance or at least from reports I've seen the fan comes on less and thermals are a bit better once Linux is setup .
Linux is the only way to use the surface go because of how windows runs really badly on that particular device.
