Wondering if this is the year Microsoft starts pulling devs away from MacBooks. Good build quality, 3:2 aspect ratio, and now a 15-inch screen. The custom processor seems exciting too, although it's hard to evaluate that without benchmarks.

Needs a sane OS. Windows 10 is not it.

I've heard that recent efforts by Microsoft - primarily but not solely WSL - have made it much more palatable to developers.

I'm running Linux on my SP4. It's pretty good.
