I need to try it few more times to better gauge the delay. I was using the phone as a trackpad so I would like to use a mouse and keyboard next. I don't have the dock so I can't compare. I'm sure the dock would be the ideal scenario though.

Have you tried this yet?
New Remote Desktop client could almost make me a Continuum believer
This almost feels like a killer feature.

really interesting work went into RDP last release. I'm interested in seeing how it's evolved since I last was working on it in mid 2014.
I'm praying on day Bomgar makes a Windows Phone app. While I didn't seem like I missed it much from my windows phone. I was able to remote in and fix something while driving to my Japanese class yesterday. Going to be hard to give that up unless i carry my Surface everywhere.

Remote into your surface, and then use Bomgar to remote into work.
You're right. The Surface never goes to sleep anyway.....

They seem to have quietly announced the Lumia 650 as well.

So does this mean it can run all programs you can on Windows 10?

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
I love Microsoft, but friends don't let friends buy a windows phone. The ecosystem is as dead as this thread.

I'm happy with my 950XL and Windows 10. I feel that it's worth it. I suggest starting out with a cheap phone such as the 640 and see if you like it.
Any hope for Windows 10 Mobile to get any better? Or do you suppose there will be another rebranding to lure more users in? Or is Windows Mobile OS dead at this point?
Dead as in, dead dead
I am trying to push him either to iOS or Android...but he won't listen.
Windows Mobile has died twice. And Windows Phone once, maybe twice as well, lol.

Technically happened.
And there's also this. Although that seems to be from Nokia itself, not Microsoft's division.
No.
Windows Phone has been on its deathbed for like 3 years now. I have no idea how it's still a thing. Apparently people in England like it or something?
Have your friend visualize taking his money, throwing it in a trash can, and lighting it on fire. That's what it'll be like jumping on Windows Phone at this point.

i don't think that's a proper analogy.
burning money in a trash bin can at least keep you warm.
