With its Subsystem for Linux aimed at developers and now this desktop PC for designers, it seems Microsoft is quickly catching up with Apple. Now if they could release a good alternative to the MacBook Pro that would be great.

I have to say this is the first time in years when there's a feeling that MS has outpaced Apple. The product looks amazing.

Can't wait to install Kaspersky on it! :)

Maybe there's some scenario I'm missing out on, but I've never had any issues just using Windows Defender.

uBlock Origin + Windows Defender = pretty good defence for people who don't click yes on everything that pops up

I have 2010 MBP, 2013 MBP, and Surface Book that I've had since Feb. I never use my MBP anymore. The hardware is great, it looks very sleek (in my opinion) and I am a big fan on Windows 10, which seems to run very well on it (no issues thus far).

edit: if you asked me 5 years ago if I would ever be happy with Microsoft, I would have laughed.

Starting at $2,999 to $4,199

Product Page: https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Surface...

*Surface Dial included

edit: as pointed out below you do get a Surafce Dial with the purchase of the studio. I originally looked at the "what's included" section where the dial was not listed.

Surface Book? It has a touch screen, high dpi display, and you can configure it with an dedicated graphics card.

Surface Book is brilliant. Solid as a rock, keyboard better than a Mac. Battery life in tablet mode sucks, but as a laptop it's excellent.
