Surface Pro 4 or Macbook Pro

So, question to those of you who love the Surface.

Microsoft is said to be working on Surface Phone and an all-in-one desktop. Will you consider jumping ship and going all Window 10 on desktop, laptop/tablet and phone?

Nope - I think Windows on phones is dead as a doornail and I seriously doubt Microsoft will release another phone, now that the market share has fallen below 1%.

Also, as of now, the iMac is the best desktop computer you could possibly get, so I'll definitely be sticking with that one.

No, right now I'm looking for a combination of all 3:
mobile: Android
desktop: custom built ftw
notebook: depends favorite so far MBP, followed by Dell and the SP 5

As long as Windows 10 doesn't allow me to decline updates I'm not going to update from Windows 7 it's just the better more stable system for me.

Windows has around 0,9 % marketshare and Blackberry 0,1 % so I guess neither is going to make a comeback. Imagine how all the W10M users will feel if MS releases a surface phone without backwards compability. MS should focus on what they are good at and improve the battery life of the SP and SB plus fix the soft and hardware issues.

From MS biggest fanboy on this forum, I almost definitely wouldn't consider switching for a variety of reasons. No x86 support and continuum isn't anything special, not enough apps, widgets > tiles, and no google support/apps, especially no google voice integration or even official app. I just think it's too little too late, and Microsoft has abandoned its windows mobile user base so many times that they are not worthy of my trust. It's a shame, but the surface phone will be dead on arrival. It may have some impact on the enterprise market, but I doubt even there will see much impact. Still, I'm very curious as to what they release as the 950XL was a hell of a phone which didn't even come close to saving MS mobile market.

I wish I could agree, but our models get checked now and then after firmware updates, and are still seeing enough issues that we can't rationalize using them. Mine is sitting on a shelf behind me collecting dust. I suppose it's possible that every one we received was defective?

I'll buy it from you.

If only it were mine to sell

To be honest, Microsoft reminds me a lot of Apple back in the early 2000's. There's definitely a solid potential with the platform and it will be interesting to see if Microsoft is able to successfully execute on it. Universal apps hold a lot of promise and if the rumors are true, the Surface phone will be a powerhouse and a beauty.

I've been in the Apple ecosystem pretty much from the beginning. Switching completely would be difficult. Add to it the fact that we have a couple Apple TV devices, Apple watch, etc. and it just seems like a crazy idea. I like everything working together and even now adding the Surface made the entire cohesive setup a little less connected.
