You either pick a laptop or a fucking tablet.
That said, surface book
For the price and unreliability, nay. It's a decent thing if you find, say, a refurb.
I had one and sold it after 2 months. Bought a ThinkPad instead.
>no Linux support
>1 usb port
>Costs a thousand bucks
I hate the carpet that they added to it.
How is it unreliable?
it's a good laptop with a great screen but it's way over expensive for what it is
also no Usb C/thunderbolt 3 and less ports than than most windows tablets
the Dell XPS 13 or Thinkpad X1 Carbon are better alternatives with higher performance and much more ports
or if you want a Stylus get a 2 in 1 foldable like the Hp Spectre x360 or Yoga 720
Just buy the XPS 9370. The Surface Laptop has a good keyboard but other than that, it's worst than any of its windows competitors. I personally don't enjoy Windows so I sold mine (these have terrible re-sale value by the way) and bought a 2015 MacBook pro.
>no 8th gen chips
cumon step it up
This shit is even less repairable than modern macbooks, and that says a lot.
My friends screen goes weird and he needs to reboot it sometimes. He's probably dumb, and I would still get one if I had the cash though
>Regurgitating what you saw Rossmann say
Who cares if it's repairable or not when they charge you 300+ dollars for mobo work. By the time an issue arrises you're paying so much to repair an already old device. If it's out of warranty it isn't even worth it.
I think the cloth makes the laptop really comfortable to type on. Would be nice if it was a replaceable cover, though, both because it's bound to get filthy, partly to give users who dislike it an alternative. As it is now, the entire thing's an unrepairable piece of shit.
>these have terrible re-sale value
That's why I never buy new.
What's a computer?
youtube.com
NO
also that carpet is gonna get nasy as fuck after a year of use
At that point, just buy a MacBook Pro and accept that you're gay.
It's good but I'd wait for V2 for 8th gen chips and usb c
>price
no
>reliability
no
>aesthetics
yes
>value for money
no
make your own mind up
Surface laptop is a no no, on the other hand the surface book 2 it's the best notebook i've ever had
I had a buddy use it for petroleum engineering classes
Having carried a heavy ass full size laptop, I still hate tablets
But I'm starting to see the appeal
Just get a MacBook Pro, it's clearly the class leader in that price range
And you can put Windows on it if you want - I have mine set up for dual boot and it's very useful
LMFAO
When Steve Jobs was alive you would of had a point
Now you got shit
x220 for manlets, t420 for the average faggot, w520 for big boys
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS
1) I'm not going to watch that video, if you want to make an argument then make an argument
2) I've got a mid-2015 MBP and it's a fantastic computer
>posting a video of some nerd whining about apple
lol @ you
developing on a mac way more fun and less painful than the comparable windows/linux experience
#1
>Buddy, don't buy into the fandom like console gamers, they blindly follow shit companies
Again, when Steve jobs was in charge it was amazing
but since then garbage products have been rolling out with apple charging people over every issue they caused
They are a dying company living off their legacy
Wow
You are a computer science major and you're still stupid enough to buy a mac
Please tell me you don't make medical software
>developing on a mac way more fun and less painful than the comparable windows/linux experience
What does it feel like to be a disapoinment to everyone?
so what exactly don't you like about a macbook other than steve jobs being dead and the ramblings of a man on youtube?
pretty good
I'm retarded and i'm proud
I'm retarded and i'm proud
I'M RETARDED AND I'M PROUD
good post
>steve jobs being dead and the ramblings of a man on youtube?
Steve Jobs WAS apple
He was the force that made apple the innovative company that it was
They new guy is making shit, making it cheaper and charging more for it
and if anyone complains like they should
>you're a idiot, pay me money
you sound a bit mental
Good job waisting money you don't have on a inferior laptop
I bought a godly quality laptop for soooooo cheap
Buddy
How old are you?
Get a Xiaomi one
fucking retard
>t. butthurt poorfags
How are we the poor ones?
We can afford lunch, rent, gas money etc etc
Go away shill
Yeah, young idiot doesn't want to listen to reason
funny enough I'm in my mid 20's and I always listen to the older guy that's been there and done that
But I'll let this ass-hat figure out his own shit
> spending 2,000 dollars prevents you from paying for lunch, rent and gas
> not being poor
pick one
I pick not being retarded and spending a car payment on a linux ripoff with shit design and shit hardware
Medical software doesn't primarly run on macs.
I bulid medical devices and have worked in a central hospital
24
what reason? your only point is steve jobs was innovative but now he's dead so apple is shit. that isn't reason, it's nothing. there's no point in listening to you if you can't expand upon it past "they are shit because they are shit".
and why would you always listen to the older guy that's been there and done that? that's stupid. you should listen to the older guy up to a point and then actually evaluate if that older guy is worth listening to.
Seriously?
I'm fucking younger than you?
>be me
>be 23
Jesus guy, quit acting like a normie or get out
And stop using reddit spacing
I'll just let you see for yourself why you're stupid
Enjoy you iShit
>Medical software doesn't primarly run on macs.
You realize that I can write code on linux and run it on windows right?
I now trust hospitals less
Thanks user
>you normie
>you reddit spacer
gee, you sure showed me. i want to conform to your autistic standards now
you have issues if you get triggered from someone liking something you don't like and then you can't even generate something to justify your vitriol
I like these smileys
Yeah, if it's simple programs.
But the shit i dealt with is control programs for analyzer systems and these tend to utilize certain libraries which are available only for windows.
You could run it on virtual machine but that can and will bring other issues with it
It's the microsoft attempt at capitalizing on the Apple market by making the same mistakes.
So nay.
