I thought the same thing! I even spent a good hour with a surface book on launch. I also own a chromebook pixel 2015.<p>On the surface, the stylus experience and typing experience wasn&#x27;t there. And the weight &#x2F; feel wasn&#x27;t as appealing. Even if equal, it would have been a tough call because I penalize windows heavily for small annoyances, security updates, notifications, difficult-to-understand security hierarchy.<p>It may seem counterintuitive to prefer either total or nearly zero OS control, but iOS just gets out of my way. When I&#x27;m in linux, I can have things precisely how I like, which means much (not all) of the OS question can be reduced to &quot;is there a quality ssh client?&quot;<p>Finally, I&#x27;m typing this over an LTE network, something that the book didn&#x27;t offer as far as I know.
