Surface pro 4 or Macbook pro (touch bar) or Surface pro 5 - Mansa - Nov 3, 2016
I honestly can't decide. Should I get the new Macbook pro with the touch bar or the Surface pro 4 or wait for the new surface pro 5 to come out next year?

Do you ever play games in it? Can it edit videos smoothly? Any complaints at all?

I've played runescape on it lol. It ran well (but it's all about specs of the computer so)
As for video editing, I haven't tried any video editing; but I always believed a computer with strong hardware should be used for video editing; since you can also just render and upload via the same computer.
Complaints; the screen does sometimes stutter (not big deal, it just looks like it's trying to adjust)
Also sometimes when I try to use the attachable, it doesn't recognize that I'm trying to use it, so I have to reconnect it.

How long does the battery usually last for you?

All the surfaces (I believe) have different battery life.

I bought this one; it lasts roughly 7 hours using internet, 6 hours watchings movies (youtube/netflix) and like 3-4 hours when I played runescape, full screen max graphics.

Ah alright. Thank you for all the info!

IDK about the surface but from what I've seen the new Razer Blade Laptop beats the Macbook in pretty much everything except for having a touch bar if I'm correct.

How does it feel to have a game library smaller than a Wii U and the power of a toaster oven with Hyper threading.

How does it feel knowing I couldn't fucking care less how many games your shitty PC can hold
Please stop being the typical PC fanboy bragging about how great of a gaming system it when I don't even play computer games to begin with.

Who TF games in OSX???! lol
Just run parallels for windows and get the MBP with no GPU. If you want to game get an external GPU dock and a GTX1080 or something lol
there is also one with internal GPU but I mean common laptop GPUs suck in comparison

That's one of the major cons which brings up the hardware. Under powered hardware but at least you get a fashion item.
