You are right; I should have posted more of an explanation.
I am a longtime Mac user who has grown disenchanted and I suspect I am one of many.
After the back-toback announcements of the new Surface Book and the new Macbook Pro, I felt like maybe Microsoft was the more geek-friendly company and that their product was a higher end product that would meet my needs better.
So, I bought a Surface Book today and I am kind of nervous about the change.
This post happened to be the first thing I saw on HN while I was setting up the new machine.
That still may not be a constructive addition to THIS thread, but at least it isn't just brand religion.
