I recently picked up a Windows 10 machine after many years of not using windows, mac only. I can tell you right now, I would never buy a windows laptop. The desktop machine still crashes, is constantly bugging me with that Cortena, etc. I can't believe it's worse than it use to be. I'm not a Mac purist, but I want something that works with minimal interruptions. While Apple is annoying me by having only one USB C port on my MacBook, I'll still take it any day over a windows machine.

I have used both PC and Apple products. I use windows for my computers and generally they have been fine, however when I was recently forced to upgrade to Windows 10 (I did not choose to upgrade, did so without my permission) I have never had so many problems. I am really disappointed with 10 and I will have to take that into consideration when I purchase my next computer. The pc itself has held up really well and I would think it would outlast nearly any mac laptop based on my experience. Thank you for sharing your experiences and for reading!
I agree! I want something that works. A PC without a USB port and with a Windows 10 operating system just doesn't cut it for me. My new PC is out of commission because the screen goes to sleep as soon as the computer boots up and Windows 10 gives me more trouble than any Windows operating system I have used in the past except for Windows 8.
It has USB 3.0 Just not the newer USB Type C. I can sympathize, windows 10 has caused a lot of issues for my pc as well.
I've never had a crash or anything to do with Cortana on my Windows 10 Pro desktop. No forced updates on the Pro version. And under the hood it's more secure and stable than earlier versions. You don't need a third-party antivirus and other third-party utilities anymore. I put off upgrading from Windows 7 until my hard disk crashed and it wasn't free anymore, but it works better than I expected. Except for some missing Canon drivers.
Microsoft allows a lot more variety in configurations and hardware than Appple. So you don't get guaranteed quality, but you can improve performance significantly by adding more RAM, for instance. My Dell desktop from 2013 now has 16 GB RAM after I filled the empty slots, so yeah, I'm not impressed by the Surface Laptop specs.
No doubt PCs offer more versatility and potential for upgrades.
Windows 10 for me has caused a lot of issues, and has left me feeling very annoyed lol, I am glad to hear that you have had a better experience. 8 gb ram would have made this product much more appealing, I do like the design though, very sleek. Thanks for reading!
