A laptop with nice peripherals, build quality, efficiency such that it isn't hot, loud, and slow at all times, and a power state scheme that isn't completely broken.
You can find some that are 80% in the first two categories. There is nothing remotely in the same league in the last two.
- makeitdouble 1y agoAre the Surface lines slow at all times with a completely broken power state ? Sounds to me like you never tried any. Which is fair if you're not trying to move away from macs in the first place, but if you're actively looking for alternatives there's a lot you are missing.
- willis936 1y agoNo, I haven't tried Surfaces. I have had a series of XPS machines which, at the time, felt close to what I was after. Each had a 5-ish year service life but I was unhappy with each by the end. I'm a more recent mac convert and starting with a 4 year old M1 pro. We'll see if it ages better.
