I purchased a Surface Pro last week, which is my first Windows device in more than a decade. Couldn't have been happier.
Though I enjoy using macOS for software development and other tasks much more than Windows, I don't think I can say the same for iOS. For the same price and form factor you get a full operating system as opposed to the iOS walled garden (which I fully appreciate on my iPhone X).
Since the Surface Pro is actually a full computer with a Core i5 processor, it can run any application -- including Ubuntu over Microsoft Hyper V, Docker, Photoshop, and even Steam. Plus the keyboard cover has a trackpad.
- cmsimike 8y agoI recently bought a Surface Pro as well. While it still isn't my day to day computer (Mac or Linux for development) I do take my Surface on vacations for Steam games and access to my music library. Recently I bought a display port to hdmi adapter for my Surface, and an HDMI cable and now I have a portable gaming/media center pc I can set up in hotel rooms.
