      Expensive.

      Ridiculous pricing in the UK, even worse in Australia.

      Anything over 32GB and you need to remortgage.

      Having said that though, I would play with one (tablet) but not sure I would buy it.

      As laptop servers for out and about seeing clients, with iPad if just showing concepts/designs.

      Desktop at home for bigger stuff.

      Can't see where it would fit in my workflow, unless I got rid of the ipad and Macbook pro.

      Please note, I don't get horny over Apple, I just think they make some good quality stuff. I still prefer MS as an OS for main work, rather than OS X.

        If that's the case, why a MBP? There are other equally high quality devices that are non MAC options that come with Windows.
        Granted, if you need an iPad, you need an iPad (apps wise).

          @Dashrender a few things.

          Resale value.
          Quality of hardware.
          Support from Apple if anything goes wrong.
          Ability to use MS and Apple SW Legally.
          Egonomics.

          I was considering the X1 Lenovo laptop, but didn't stack up that great.

          The only other laptop I have really liked was the Dell XPS's but they have now changed and sadly ( i know it's pathetic) I hate the font on the keys.

          Any other recommendations? ........ I think I have gone through a huge amount of expensive/cheap laptops and always go back to MBP.

          Again, not affiliated to Apple, just appreciate their "quality".

              Yeah, you know, the study of man's ego when it comes to buying Apple products! 😉

                I lean away from Mac specifically because of the support issues. HP, Dell.... Way better support than Apple. Apple doesn't have business class support.
