I bought surface pro 4 a less than 7 days ago, and am absolutely loving it. The problem is, if i play 1440p 60fps video or anything higher than that(including 4k), there is horrible lag and stutter. The problem only occurs in chrome. Edge runs it just fine, but most of the videos don't have any option higher than 1080p in edge.
The thing is, as a pc enthusiast, i also own a i7 macbook air and hp elitebook 8560p(running windows 7), they donot suffer any horrible lag or anything playing the same exact video on chrome.
The thing is, i am still under their return period and can exchange it with a i5 model, 4gb ram. But i have heard reports that i5 doesn't necessarily fix that problem at all.
The funny thing though, after installing an extension, which bypasses vp9 codec and uses h264 codec results in a smoother video. But still i didn't need to do that in my windows 7 hd 8560p laptop(2nd gen i7,4gb ram, hd 6470m dgpu) or on my mac.
So i was looking for suggestion, should i exchange it for an i5? My main usage will be light office work like google docs or microsoft office, streaming videos and sometimes games to it, and finally, might be doing some light coding. But it will be extensively used for note taking and writing in one note.
I also have to shell out 224 canadian dollars including taxes if i go to that route
Thanks in advance.
