I have a 2015 15-inch retina macbook pro and a surface pro 4. Ever since Windows 10 added a native ubuntu bash shell to its OS, I have preferred using the surface for all of my development (some web stuff where I ssh into other boxes and some python number crunching done locally). A big factor is that the surface pro 4's screen looks a lot better than my retina macbook pro because it is more dense and has a higher resolution. A few years ago I would not have believed the stuff I am writing in this comment, but here we are!
