Re:Microsoft now has the best hardware lineup in the industry by fosco on Wednesday October 03, 2018 @11:44AM (#18131355)
I have a surface pro 3 right next to a x1carbon, often my wireless goes on on the surface and it is increasingly frustrating. That being said, I like the surface, not a fan of the keyboard but it is very portable and powerful for its size with great battery time. the keyboard is becoming more and more frustrating but I am a very picky person (I've had it for 2 years now) I run a couple vms at the same time to do some work as well.

because of the keyboard I will likely get a dell latitude or xps series next if I need a new laptop. otherwise, I am sticking to my full desktop keyboard :-)

Why not another Thinkpad? What don't you like about it?

I have used high end versions of both over the years and for some reason that I cannot explain I prefer the dell now.

maybe its mental or about the oem spyware installations I am not entirely sure.

I am generally satisfied with the x1carbon... just see my next laptop being a high end dell.
