I just bought a Surface Pro 6 (with keyboard since the bundle was on sale). My MacBook Pro and iPad are both several years old and it was really time to upgrade. But I'm extremely unhappy with the current state of Mac laptops, and while the performance of the new iPad Pros are astounding, the limitations of iOS mean I don't want to use that kind of device as my daily driver. (I've tried it before in the past with a keyboard case on my old iPad, and while it does some things well, it still feels hamstrung in a lot of areas.)
Despite all of that, I was still looking for a device that was sleek, very portable, well-designed, versatile, and reasonably powerful. The Surface Pro 6 seemed like an obvious choice. I considered a low-end gaming laptop, but I had trouble finding one that didn't look like absolute garbage.
Anyway, after a few days, I'm really impressed with the Surface. I've never had a problem with Windows 10, and it's only gotten better over time. Having a full-featured OS on a device that can be a tablet, a laptop, and switch between them seamlessly, is really useful. I love the functionality of the keyboard cover, I love the look and feel of the device. And the screen is absolutely gorgeous.
Considering that I've been a Mac user for over a decade at this point, the transition has been smooth. Anyway, I don't really have a huge point in all of this, just felt like I needed to get my thoughts down somewhere. Any other Surface users out there? Any recent Mac-to-Windows converts?
