I tend to be picky over hardware and prefer windows for personal use (just habit since I've used it for over eons)
I wanted a 4 core chip and until 8th gen, they were mostly 35W+ chips. I had a surface prior and loved the 3:2 aspect ratio so that was a must as well...an option that's severely limited my choices.
It came down to the surface laptop (thicker bezels, no dgpu and Intel still cant make a good dgpu to save their lives) or the Matebook.
I've accepted that windows laptops (and the OS) are still years away from the fluidity of using a touchpad on a macbook with virtual desktops and animation fluidity but overall, it's been a fantastic purchase form the MS store with great battery life and the portability I want in a ... well, portable device.
My ideal device is still 8 cores (15W or less with room to consume 25W across a couple of cores), 13.9 - 16" screen in a 14" laptop form-factor, 8hr + battery life with weighing about 3lbs or less...
