I currently end up doing most things on my Windows desktop. Developing on Windows is... not terrible, but not great. I don't do a lot of funky Linux-y stuff so I don't have much use for isolating my dev environment. It also doesn't sound like the things that annoyed you about your MacBook are things that annoy me. I also just really want a real laptop. I've heard good things about the Surface, in general, but a) I have virtually zero use for a tablet, and b) I like to put my laptop in my actual lap sometimes, which tablets-with-keyboards don't do a great job at. I've considered the XPS 13, but I know the trackpad won't be as good and of course it's Windows.

I use my surface on my lap quite a lot, and it works fine, a lot less wobbly and no heat on thighs (or calves, not sure what your upper legs is called in English). It can’t be used on stomach in bed though, like at all. So there are certainly limitations a laptop doesn’t have.
