Good News: found a good remote desktop solution
I found a way to make my remote desktop experience much better on Yoga. Up until now, I use the build in remote desktop application (tried both desktop version and Windows Store version), and found that the remote desktop does not honor the high dpi setting on my Yoga, result in tiny screen in small window, and made remote desktop almost useless. Then I ran into this post talking about a newer remote desktop software from Microsoft called Remote Desktop Connection Manager 2.2. I tried to suggestion and was very happy with the result.
Bad News: Painter X3 doesn't do pressure sensitive
Just tried Corel Painter X3 and found that pressure sensitive DOES NOT work with ThinkPad Yoga, or at least not Yoga out-of-the-box. I remember that in good old days, I have to explictly install Wacom TabletPC to make drawing programs like Photoshop and such to work. But now that I found almost ALL the software I used recognize the pressure sensitive setting in this like of Wacom tablet, it's kind of unforgiving to not support Wacom tablet in these tablet PC devices like ThinkPad Yoga. So, NO, I am not installing crazy Wacom Tablet PC driver. Instead I will uninstall Painter X3.
Luckily, another much cheaper natural painting app Art Rage 4 works great with Yoga with proper pressure sensitive support. It's nice to have options.
I also tried a lot of different emulator on Yoga, including NES, Super NES, Gameboy, GAmeboy Advance, Genesis, and they all worked fine. Sure they are not resources intensive apps, but I still want to make sure that they work properly.
