Twenty years of using Macs and I'm not sure what my next laptop is going to be.

I gotta say the Surface Book has been really great. Especially as it supports the new MSVR and Hololens out of the box for the DGPU version.

My beefs are the low-voltage CPUs and that it's even more expensive than the MBP if you want 16GB RAM ($2700, though you do get 512GB SSD for that which brings the MBP to $2600), let alone 1TB SSD (that's $3300 versus $3000 on the MBP).

And that's comparing to the 15" rMBP, the 13" is $2200 (16/512) / $2600 (16/1TB), though in that case the SB adds a dGPU. And battery life in both cases of course.

And the SB doesn't have a single type-C port let alone TB3.

How's the keyboard?

Good balance between quiet and haptic. Not quite mechanical click quality but more satisfying than other super soft touch ones.
