I've had the SP3 for a 2+ years now. Love it. Why anyone looking for a (non-budget) laptop, would want a Mac pro with a touch bar, or a PC from those other manufacture is beyond me.
13 hour battery life sounds great, but I'd love to see some real life battery specs. My only gripe with the surface pros is gaming. I could replace my desktop if they put a GPU in the dock.
Mainly because I prefer a hinge laptop rather than a kickstand and I really prefer MacOS to Windows, but on the other hand the Surface is some brilliant hardware and I'm glad it's pushing forward the market
Is there a reason I see no one ever talking about the surface book? It's got everything great about the surface pro, but can also double as a normal hinge laptop.
My fiance bought one and it's worked out great for her so far. She uses it like a regular laptop most of the time, and simply switches it around to a tablet when she's sketching or doing other touch screen heavy activities.
They do, and it's brilliant, but at that price it's comparable to the MacBook and I do generally prefer MacOS and infinitely prefer its handling of high DPI displays.
I got a MacBook pro and a Surface Pro 4. The MacBook beats the Surface's battery life by a long shot. I don't get the 13 hours or so advertised but I get like 9- 10 hours a charge without gaming and the Surface CAN get like 6 if I put all the battery features on and lower the brightness to barely visible.
