Let me first say I have an iPhone 6 and an iPad mini that won't be leaving for now. My main computer though is a Macbook Pro 2011. When the Surface 3 came out, I waited a couple of months till I bought one. The Surface 3 was/is awesome because of its innovation (at the time). I've held off on upgrading my main computer in part due to money but the 2011 has been a great computer.
I'm in a dilemma though. Upgrade the main computer or stick with the 2011? Its still a great computer but some things have slowed. Upgrade or no or reformat the current one? So, the decision has come down to the Surface Pro 2017 or a new Macbook Pro.
With all else being equal as far as computing power and so on... I'll lose a couple things on the Mac that I can't do on the iPad however for work I mostly use MS Office. What programs I would lose on the Mac, I could buy for Windows. What it may come down to is something so petty, so it seems, but something that will linger for some time. What is that? The ports on the Mac compared to the Surface Pro are laughable. The money needed to buy converters for the Mac ports may range in the $100 or so but that is an expense that is simply not incurred with the Surface Pro.
I will probably reset my Mac back to factory settings and use it sparingly unless I try to sell it. But the fact that Apple left out some of the most used ports is what my decision is, basically, coming down to. Plus, a new Macbook is still just a laptop whereas the Pro is a tablet as well and a decent design machine because it is touch screen. Another minor quip but Apple left out the touch screen. I don't think it will be too difficult to leave Apple. Who else has?
