I recently got a Surface Book after many years using a MBP. The Book definitely looks nice, the keyboard is excellent, performance is good, and the reconfigurable touchscreen is handy for doing hand calculations, circuit diagrams, sketching, etc. There are many downsides though: the touchscreen features seen poorly supported, with many apps exhibiting weird scrolling behaviour or other bugs. High DPI support also seems patchy even after much tweaking of Windows settings. Even Windows itself seems to get confused about the touchscreen; the Start menu will occasionally stop responding to mouse clicks, at which point you have to either poke at the screen or reboot.
To be honest, I wish I had stuck with Apple, at least until Microsoft works out the kinks.
