![]() What was striking about the original Surface Book was something I had a very hard time quantifying. To be honest, I had intended to write a review of it for quite some time, however, that blog had been put on the backburner. That very day I bought a Microsoft Surface Book (the very one that I am typing this blog on) and never looked back. Then, to the horror of myself and many around, we watched as Apple gave us the new MacBook Pro, complete with… wait for it… the touch bar (ready to suit all of my emoji needs). I had even decided to upgrade it to the newest one before the announcement, for I knew it would be cutting edge in the ways that other Apple products of the past had been. I thought at the time, that one of the few pieces of Apple hardware that would stay in my repertoire was the MBP. When I began transitioning to Windows, I had made concessions. For me, there was one piece of hardware that remained from my Apple past, one that traveled with me to all my photoshoots and pre-production meetings, coffee shops and airport bars, studios and locations alike… my MacBook Pro. I have to hand it to Apple, they made a system, an environment, that has been comfortable and creatively useful for many years however, slowly the sparkle that was once held in such high regards by artists, has begun to dull. ![]() Over the last year I have been slowly migrating from Apple to Windows, and to be honest, breaking out of the walled gardens that I lived within (some known, some unknown) has not been easy, but it has been freeing.
