What productivity boost items are in the Windows 10 Build, Insider Preview 17692?

Recently this build was applied to my computer and it did take quite bit of time. I am not sure how much change it made to my resources.


Microsoft Edge has been enhanced. There are lots of great stuff and the productivity tips are many. There is nice web page that explains each of the following with gifs (may be):

Here is a list of the productivity related new items:
      
One click to fill forms
Mark up PDFs and e-books
    Reading made easier
Print what matters

    Browse on your phone and continue on your PC
Mute tabs
Have the web read out loud to you
Read e-books in the browser
Translate websites instantly--Download Translation Extension
Customize with extensions
Use your touchpad like a touchscreen
 I liked this one
Swipe to go back or forward
Keyboard shortcuts
Get notifications from websites
Use mouse gestures to close tabs and more
Earn rewards for using Microsoft Edge
Save money with Cortana
Get instant answers as you search
Read without distractions
Write on the web
Add notes to sites
Clip and share anything
 Clipped image has unknown format, cannot be opened  
Cast your content
 Does not discover the TV
Browse longer without a charge
Get helpful tips from Cortana
Ask Cortana anything
Save creative ideas from around the web with Pinterest
Instant access to all your Office files  -- You need an extension
Get a Focused inbox with Outlook.com

You may think that productivity has increased, but actually it has decreased because the computer has become very sluggish. I tried to check out the above and I had browser freezing up, or printer menu not coming up; the Cast to devices not showing and many more.
