Personal life: iPad Pro 3rd Gen.
Work: MacBook Air M2
For work I was using the Surface Pro. However, they changed it so that removing the keyboard forces the UI to enter tablet mode. This happens even when using the computer with an external monitor and Mouse Without Borders. That means I have to leave the keyboard attached and can't actually save my desk space. If I'm going to sacrifice the desk space anyway I might as well get the vastly superior performance of the M2, and the useful trackpad.
If someone made a laptop that runs Windows, has a removable keyboard, allows me to have manual control of when tablet mode is enabled, and had performance comparable to the M2, I would buy two of those. One for work, one for home.
Side note. Prior to this M2 I hadn't used OSX/MacOS in over a decade. At that time I hated it. There were many aspects I couldn't tolerate. Using it now there are still a few frustrations and annoyances, but I can live with them. It's come a long way. If not for that, I probably would have sucked it up and continued with the Surface Pro.
