>I've tried to get her to switch to Mac, but she prefers Windows, so next time I'm buying her a Surface Laptop. HTH anyone considering the XPS.

If HW reliability is a concern and you want to choose Apple, couldn't you BootCamp it or run Windows in a full screen VM?

Windows runs on a Mac, but I hesitate to say it runs well. The trackpad is pretty mediocre and I have lots of issues with Bluetooth. Additionally, the laptop only exposes the GPU so it never switches to integrated graphics and my battery life sucks.
