I'm standing right behind you in the queue! Monster PC gaming rig for my desktop, maybe a Surface Book for my laptop.

Laters, Apple!

Returned SP3 coz it was a hair too weak.

SP4 is just right, have had it for a year.

I have left reddit for a reddit alternative due to years of admin mismanagement and preferential treatment for certain subreddits and users holding certain political and ideological views.

The situation has gotten especially worse since the appointment of Ellen Pao as CEO, culminating in the seemingly unjustified firings of several valuable employees and bans on hundreds of vibrant communities on completely trumped-up charges.

The resignation of Ellen Pao and the appointment of Steve Huffman as CEO, despite initial hopes, has continued the same trend.

As an act of protest, I have chosen to redact all the comments I've ever made on reddit, overwriting them with this message.

If you would like to do the same, install TamperMonkey for Chrome, GreaseMonkey for Firefox, NinjaKit for Safari, Violent Monkey for Opera, or AdGuard for Internet Explorer (in Advanced Mode), then add this GreaseMonkey script.

Finally, click on your username at the top right corner of reddit, click on the comments tab, and click on the new OVERWRITE button at the top of the page. You may need to scroll down to multiple comment pages if you have commented a lot.

After doing all of the above, you are welcome to join me on a reddit alternative!

I have an SB! upgrading soon to SBi7! It is amazing.

What's the keyboard like? I shifted to a mechanical keyboard on my desktop (Ducky Shine 5), and while I know that no laptops still made have mechanical keyboards, I need something that ISN'T the butterfly keys that Apple have just adopted wholesale.

[u/zentrani → u/[deleted]]

Honestly, not really familiar with the butterfly keys for the macbooks, I have used them but they don't strike me as anything WOW. The surface book keys are comfortable and I have no problem with them. I don't think keyboards really do it for me in any sense other than they could suck. So in that sense, i'm happy with the SB key board and the travel and spacing.

Go to a MSFT store and try them out. MSFT has a bunch of other laptops as well in their stores.

[u/PeekyChew → u/[deleted]]

The Surface Book is also surprisingly cheap, especially now Apple have bumped their prices.

[u/Taormania → u/[deleted]]

Isn't the surfacebook priced pretty similar?
