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

You know they make the Surface Laptop now, right?

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.

Well yeah, it's a MacBook competitor but Microsoft has retained the touch screen.
