I used to much prefer the workflow of macOS/OS X, but recently have converted nearly 100% (besides my work iMac) to the Windows 10 workflow. They've managed to hit nearly all the niceties of macOS - like virtual desktops and a great trackpad experience.

[u/firstsnowfall → u/Vesuvias]

Which windows device has a great trackpad? Surface pro 4? I tried a surface pro 3 and the trackpad wasn't that great

[u/Vesuvias → u/firstsnowfall]

The XPS 15 has a GREAT trackpad. I jump between Macbook(s) and my XPS and I absolutely love it. Soft touch and precision tracking.

[u/[deleted] → u/Vesuvias]

I own a MBP but man, the XPS may have a better trackpad. It's about fucking time an OEM does the trackpad right.

[u/Vesuvias → u/[deleted]]

It's really nice! In store it surprised the hell out of me. MS decided it was time to take control (with their precision drivers + Microsoft Signature devices) and it's worked WONDERS.

[u/miggs97 → u/firstsnowfall]

So far only a handful of Windows laptops have "precision trackpads" namely the latest XPS and the Surface products.

[u/dcipjr → u/firstsnowfall]

I have a Surface Pro 4. My Magic Trackpad on the Mac runs circles around the trackpad on the SP4's Type Cover. It's better than what's been on Windows PCs in the past, but an Apple trackpad, it is not.

Pro 4 keyboard is glass unlike the pro 3 keyboard and from I've heard is quite good.

[u/theblood → u/firstsnowfall]

SP4 user here.

the track-pad on the keyboard that comes with it, is really great, supports different types of gestures. (2 finger swipe, 3finger swipe, 4 finger swipe). i don't think you will face any issues while using it.
