Don't get one if you want to do serious PC gaming, though, or any editing and exporting of large video files.
And if anyone does get one, immediately download Chrome (or maybe another browser) as Microsoft Edge does an unbelievably poor job of recognizing touch input. Trying to navigate Calgarypuck in Edge is maddening.

FWIW, there have been numerous updates to Edge in the newer (read as: Insider RS1, AYOR) builds that have made Edge a lot better for a variety of use cases.
But to be honest, CalgaryPuck is not terribly well optimized for touch. There are a lot of buttons and links with very small hitboxes and the spacing doesn't make things any better. I had to bump the page magnification on my Surface 3 from 100% to 150% to make CP (and a lot of other sites) usable on it. With 2" more screen real estate and a MUCH higher resolution on your SP4, I can only imagine what it looks like on there.
Oh, and make sure you have the latest updates for it. It takes care of that nasty sleep mode issue that was around for a few months after launch.
