Sorry. I’ll never use a Microsoft anything by choice - they lost me years ago.
Lol. It’ll take them another 30 years to get the hardware right for a laptop. They should just send Windows to the Xbox team and be done with it. The only thing Microsoft has done well is finally getting Office to run better on a Mac then on Windows, and that also took them 20 years. It only started working well on the Mac about 6~7 years ago. Now it’s much more stable on a Mac than on Windows. That says a lot about their shi**y operating system underneath.
Not so long as it’s machines run windows
Maybe Apple will dust off those iconic Mac vs. PC ads, but update them to included the rainbow of 2010s “cool people”.
Those old ads were too white and too male by today’s standards (at least on the Mac side). The PC side will be whiter, older, and nastier than ever, and for the first time, PCs will be racist, homophobic, and Islamophobic, and will wear MAGA hats.

Microsoft and hardware?!? Can you say “Zune”! Only thing MS made in hardware that was decent was their ergo keyboards.
Microsoft is hopeless stuck in a morass of corporate think and endless money. Everything they touch turns to lead. Just look at how they managed to destroy their console device because of hubris. “You gamers just don’t know what’s good for ya...here, have a machine that advances our corporate tech footprint doing crap you don’t care about. Just shut up and buy it!” Only Microsoft could manage to make Sony cool!
I just had Windows 10 installed on my laptop at work.
It constantly guesses at what I want to do and constantly guesses wrong. Spellchecker constantly changes peoples names and street names and tech jargon after I have spelled those things correctly. Then I don’t catch the things it changes and send out embarrassing stuff and blaming the spellchecker sounds lame, even though everyone knows it is true.
It constantly tries to help me with popups. I’ve been able to turn off some of them. But many “helpful” interruptions cannot be turned off.
MS will have to do better than Windows 10 to impress anyone.
I considered the new Microsoft Surface Pro, but two matters deterred me:
1. Windows 10s. This is a dumbed-down version of Windows 10 — which is annoying enough in its own right.
2. This device cannot be fixed or upgraded. If it breaks (or the battery dies) it must be discarded. It received the lowest score possible from Ifixit:
