I take the "premium" experience of Apple hardware for granted, and if I wanted to buy a Windows laptop, I'd have no idea which brands make similar quality laptops for Windows. I'm shocked at the Windows laptops I see in the wild.
Is that what Microsoft Surface laptops are? Did Microsoft get in the game themselves to make sure a premium-quality laptop is available for Windows?
Yes about the surface part. They thought all other 2-in-1 touch devices were terrible and needed to do something.
But Microsoft stopped caring about hardware a long time ago. I would never recommend overpriced Surface Pro to anyone unless you have a special need for that form factor. As to Surface Laptop, you have so many better choices.
I’ve worked on a Lenovo Carbon X1 and was impressed with the whole thing. The keyboard is legit superior to Mac.
I've found the X1s to be very easy to service as well. Maybe it's a Thinkpad thing.
