I tried a friend&#x27;s Surface the other day and got blown away by how smoothly everything ran and how quick Edge was compared to Safari. No hang-ups, no &quot;This application was forced to quit,&quot; no opening iTerm and having to kill a process by hand, better memory management, and pretty decent battery life. Of course, the trackpad and keyboard were still not as good as the ones on the MBP; there&#x27;s some weird Apple magic going on there and while OEMs are catching up I wonder how much longer it&#x27;ll take to actually match the performance of Apple&#x27;s input devices.<p>It&#x27;s amazing how the tables have turned; I can&#x27;t imagine myself saying anything like this 5-6 years ago.
