Yes, but this "laptops" are set to use cpu in burst mode. So if you run servers like docker and VMs etc (like I do on my SP4) you often hit the burst limit and the cpu throttle's right back down.

I've taken to using an external usb fan to get extra speed.

If you run servers then SP4 is not for you. Choose proper tool for your job. SP contrary to its name is not pro at all, it just looks professional but if you want to do serious work you need serious horse power.

Obviously not running prod servers on it. But for on the go development, what's wrong with using some of that 16gb to start some docker containers to work?
