Tried both, both of these devices are owned by my colleague and both of them swear by them. So to me, it will depend on the user and the usage

How was your experience when you tried both? smile.gif

On a side note, open a sales thread to see if anyone is interested. If none within 1-2 weeks then i'll probably just stick with the rMBP..

My safari become very laggy after updated from 10.11.2 to 10.11.3. The lag is very noticeable even there's input lag when I'm trying to type something. Anybody having the same problem? I'm using rMBP 13" mid 2014 model and I'm pretty sure my processor and memory is not under heavy load.

To be very frank, I still prefer a Windows based machine when working on MS Office applications especially like Outlook, Excel and Powerpoint. I am using MS Office 365 on my rMBP and there are still some issues that needs to be fixed!
In terms of application multitasking, I felt it easier to work on my Macbook Pro instead.

What I like very much about the Mac more are for my photography related applications such as Lightroom and Photoshop. In terms of the multitasking at work, I use a combination of Telegram, Slack, Wunderlist, Google Drive, Office Applications to manage my projects and get updates and deliver updates to stakeholders as well as preparing reports and giving presentations. With all of these apps opened up at once, I felt it easier and smoother on the Mac.

Just my own two cents. My colleague who owns the Surface Pro 4 says the same on his machine! But then again I paid RM4k for mine and he paid more than RM8k for his so yeah....

It seems like a bug for OS X 10.11.3 then. Luckily I'm not the only one that experience this.

My force touch trackpad has an additional like a loose bearing sound on click whenever the MBP feels warm. Sound is faint, the trackpad still works but it happens very persistently at the same lower right area. However it disappears whenever I do second stage force click on the area a few times. Does anyone of you experience the same problem?

I owned both rumba and surface pro 3.

Photoshop, lightroom stuff, i do at my macbook.

Office at my surface pro.

If I want to watch something at my bedside, then it's surface pro.

I still don't find surface pro touchscreen responsive enough, and always you gotta switch between tablet or desktop mode. Sometimes is better at desktop, sometimes tablet.

Really got to depend on usage. But now my speaker crackling on macbook, so only watch movie on surface pro.

Yes me too, I prefer to do all the office suite in windows. But I prefer MacBook hardware. So 95% of time I am on boot amp.

I dun like the windows based laptops available in the market. Nothing can fight with MacBook,
