That's great that you love your Surface Book. But to me, the hardware is only half the equation. I will absolutely not buy a laptop that runs Windows. Sure, I could put Linux on it, but then I'd lose the touch optimized UI. Plus, I prefer MacOS 100 times more than Linux, which I prefer 100 more times than Windows.
So even if Microsoft has made better hardware recently, there are still a lot of people like me that buy Mac for MacOS. And I don't see most power users abandoning that for a touch screen.
- nkkollaw 8y agoI abandoned Apple not for a touchscreen, but because every time I hit "f", it would type "fffff", and half the time the spacebar didn't work. After fixing it two times at the Apple store, the logic board died with all the data it had on it. Should not happen after paying 1799 EUR for a laptop. macOS might and is actually great--and hardware might be an afterthought to you, but in a laptop being able to type is kind of an important feature to me. I run Linux and some Linux distros do have touch optimized UIs if you're wondering. As for Windows, it's a perfectly fine choice as well, and not a lot worse than macOS.
