I’ve been all in on Apple for about 15 years, but have been slowly moving away as it gets harder to use their products for development and power usage.

Got a windows laptop recently, and the developer experience is much better than Mac OS which surprised me. Thinking about getting a surface pro to replace my iPad for traveling.

Edit: the only thing that keeps me on the iPhone right now is that their hardware (chips in particular) are so much better.




Make sure to grab one of the more mature Surface lines. My original Surface Pro had bad thermals; melted the adhesive for the display off. Friend had a Surface Book 1 snap in his bag, and another friend had a Surface Pro X die on him ~2 weeks after buying it.

Interestingly enough, all these issues only happened on the first version of each product line.


Thanks.
