I've used Macs for years, but not feeling the love from Apple anymore. Too much focus on expensive real estate, hip hop artists, celebrities, emojis, fashion, and political causes. I guess that's what happens when you don't have to work hard to sell one of your products, have a fanatical following, and more cash than most small countries.
I've used Windows at work for the last 4-5 years, Macs for about the 5 years prior, and Windows before that as long as it existed. Also had some OS/2 and Linux mixed in there. So basically I'm not wedded to any company or platform even though I've loved Apple stuff for a number of years.
I bought a Surface Pro 4 about a month back before the announcement of the new one. I loved it. Decided to return it to see what the new model brought. There were three things I didn't love - battery life, sharp edges, and pen performance. They were OK, but the things I liked the least. The new model seems to hit all those check boxes. And being fanless is pretty nice too. I've only been really using Windows 10 for about a month and this was my first opportunity to mix mouse, touch, and pen with Windows. I think Apple is really missing out by not providing a touch screen on Macs. Mixed input modes is very productive.
So now the waiting game until June 15 when its available. I got the i5/8GB/256GB. Anyone else have one of these on order?
