I run VS2013 on it, no problem (did on my SP2 as well). While you can scroll with your finger with the scrollbar (it is oversized), I'd recommend using a mouse or the touchpad at the very least. Visual Studio is not really touch friendly. Code in general, is not very touch friendly
God, you people are really tempting me to get it. I've been coding strictly on a $300 laptop after I gave my boyfriend my i7 desktop for school... and WOW.
