My primary computing device at home, for leisure, side project coding and sometimes work, has been a surface pro 6 (13” i5) for almost a year. It replaced my MBP 2018 edition that I resold for almost its purchase value around this time last year.
It was my first move to Windows after a decade of Mac at home, though we use Windows at my place of work so it’s not unfamiliar territory to me, and I have to say that I really enjoy the machine. The combination of VSC and WSL is just so great a way to box away your development parts, without contaminating the OS you use to watch movies. I know some of you are probably good at running setups that never bricks, but I’m not, and having it in a container you can easily replace with a new Linux image has been so nice.
I use the tablet part quite a bit. The keyboard is nice, and I don’t really mind that it’s slow. The only real downside about from the privacy issues with Windows, is that it’s not as good as a laptop when you’re lying down with it on your stomach.
