Hello! Have a question for everyone.
I have a SP3 base model (i3, 64gb, 4gb, etc). Should I be able to stream 4k Youtube videos without stutter in Chrome? On my iMac I can easily stream 4k/60fps with no problem (75mbps cable line) but on the SP3, 4k is an unwatchable stutter fest, and 60fps videos run fine but causes the SP3 to heat up considerably, and causes the OS to slowdown quite a bit as well.
Am I expecting too much from my meager base SP3?
Also, is Youtube CPU or GPU restricted?
Perhaps it's time to upgrade...
