Creator can't use windows 10 S because less app on the store, but if student use it, can useful and beautiful
Welcome to the all-new Windows Central Forums! - We're still moving some things around, so you may see a few quirks here and there, but we're working on getting things fully completed as soon as possible. For now, take a look around, and if you run into any major issues, please let us know in this thread!
A bit of both, well at least in my eyes it can be used for both.
I wanted to get a Surface Laptop to help with photo editing or maybe some 3D modeling on the go. To do this, I would need to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro of course, since everything some of the applications I need are outside of the store.
College students would probably keep the Windows 10 S since it's said to have outstanding battery life (running less services) and it's suppose to run a lot better than the Pro version.
I am not entirely sure how well would it handle 3D modelling since it has no dGPU, but I'd be really interested to see how well would it perform.
The device that was 100% made for creators is Surface Studio, Surface Laptop is according to MS more focused on students and according to latest Windows Central articles for "wider population" because MS wants to get rid of the old Win32 apps in the first place. I think that specs-wise Surface Laptop is more of a device for students as it doesn't offer a dGPU on which many creators depend. Of course not all creators require dGPU, so it really does matter what specifically do you want to do with it.

Yeah, you're right, that's was I was just thinking. I must've had the Surface Laptop and a Surface Book or Surface Studio in a mix up, my mistake.
I'm not too sure how well the Surface Laptop will handle lite 3D modeling, but it should be somewhat decent. Shouldn't it?
