Personal Comments: I bought the Surface Book after waiting for years for a new MBP release, and despite owning it for around three years it's as fast and functional as it was back then. It's without a doubt the best laptop I've ever owned, and I couldn't recommend it enough.
- slipwalker 7y agothese specs look great. Which OS are you running on this ?
- EnderMB 7y ago99% of the time I run Windows 10. Despite the negative press that Windows gets on here, it gets the job done with zero issues, and any time I get a weird issue it's usually to do with permissions. I used to run Debian alongside Windows 10, but I found myself not needing it as much, so I cleared Debian off and decided to use it as a VM instead. My main language at the moment is Ruby, which is notoriously bad on Windows, so I use either my VM or WSL for Ruby work. The rest I can comfortably do on Windows. I've had this laptop for years, and it's still fast and smooth. The trackpad is also a close second best to the fantastic MBP trackpads, with the keyboard being (arguably) better on the SB. My only criticism of it is the unnecessary tablet functionality. If Microsoft were to create a Surface Book equivalent without touch screen and a detachable screen, I'd consider it for work.
