The only real issue I've had is related to DPI settings: the high resolution/small screen combo requires a larger default text size, but changing the text size in normal windows is a much more complicated task than you would ever think. The default Windows method is to up the DPI to 150%, but lots of programs/websites seem to be have weird issues with that (especially websites that use their own embedded video players). I've had to go through a number of workarounds. Maybe Windows 10 has resolved this issue? It's been a while since I looked into it.

Yeah, Windows generally is awful with DPI scaling. Lots of apps don't actually get scaled. At best this leads to things looking weird, at worst some things are unusable. Not sure if they've done anything differently in 10.
