Unfortunately, Lenovo resurrected the PCjr in their products. Not only did the Thinkpads get chiclets, they’ve watered down every brand from IBM.
I’ve had no performance problems on the Surface 2. It performs as well as my laptop and sometimes better than my office desktop. Remote desktop is going to be a drag on the performance. I’ve been very happy with my Toshiba laptop and with the Surface. I have used it when traveling and sometimes at my desk when our system is experiencing problems or there is an upgrade of some other software going on. I have a small profile USB hard drive that takes care of any additional storage needs. Make sure you max out on the available storage and memory installed for any tablet that is going to potentially taxed by memory and speed requirements.
Classic Shell is OBE ... I will at this point completely bypass Win8. Win10 doesn’t seem to need it.
I think it is a lot better (quicker) than the default:
Below is the difference btwn the default WTP start menu and classic shell. Which would you prefer? (You can nuke items in either one.)

BTW, here is a neat tweak to add things to the Windows key and X shortcut (which itself is a plus for Win/8/10):
I have grown to like the hybrid list/tiles in the standard Win10 start menu. The latest Win10 update that I got started automatically alphabetizing the list menu items.
Classic shell was a huge improvement over the Win8.0 disaster. I can’t see installing it on Win10, unless they screw it up.
