I played with the Surface Studio yesterday and it was a BEAUTIFUL machine. The screen was a lot thinner than I imagined, it was super sturdy, and just felt good in the hand. My experience fell apart with using the pen/my finger to navigate windows. I felt like I was double/triple clicking icons because I wasnt sure if my action registered or not. But once into photoshop (it was right on the desktop) the pen worked well. If I were to leave macOS as the os on my development machine, it definitely wouldn't be for Windows. I've heard people still have problems with *nix symlinks in their VM shared folders -- that is very minor, but it could cripple certain projects.
- actsasbuffoon 10y agoYeah, the stylus isn't very good. I bought a Surface Pro 4 tablet with a ~$500 discount which made it attractive. The device has some nice points, but compared to my Wacom Cintiq or even my Apple Pencil/iPad Pro combo, the stylus on the Surface is sub-par. The pressure sensitivity is weak, there's no tilt capability, and it frequently fails to capture clicks/strokes. The Surface type cover is definitely nicer than the keyboard cover for the iPad Pro though. MS did a nice job with that.
