I have surface book 2 and have been using it both for development via WLS + VS code and as a tablet for drawing, taking meeting notes etc. I would never come back to Mac or any Linux compatible laptop because I got used to its versatility.

I simply cannot comprehend how a laptop with detachable screen, which is powered by GTX1060 and has by far the longest battery life on the market can be awkward. Couple this with better than mac keyboard, good 4k display and corpus that never overheats like Mac. It is also more silent. Please tell me which laptop currently has all these features?

I own a Surface Book 2 as well. At work I use MBP 16. And before that I used ThinkPad W520 for 6 years. SB2 is the best laptop. There are issues like glossy screen or not repairable/sturdy/modular like ThinkPad, but ergonomics and performance is just too good.
