Get the MacBook Air M4 versus this and thank me later.
No I won't thank you.Not even the same form factor nor operating system.I have a 13" MacBook Air M4, while a great laptop, I also have an Asus ProArt PZ13 which is the same as this Surface Pro. I use them for different reason. One I can draw on and consume media, the other just to surf the internet and every thing Apple as they pretty much locks you into their ecosystem.

Apple forces everyone to use iTunes. Apple's users live in a cage and think this iTunes world is great. I'm speechless.
The PC World has no answer of yet to Apple Silicon. It can't compete on price and performance. Hopefully that changes. That being said as of now I wouldn't pay $199 for one of these.

The old Apple vs PC debate. Some people want windows and others don't. For those that say "get a Mac", I don't want one. I want a windows based operating system that can perform well. For me and my needs, this product fits the bill at a great price. Why do folks always come into the comments section on windows products telling others to get a Mac?
Including the keyboard, very slick. Wish there was an open box discounted by $100 to push this over the top. Very tempting at this price, even though I don't need it.
Does any one have experience using lightroom on this? Is it compatible?
I have and I think it works fine. Use of lots of masks and brushes will bog the system down if you're doing a lot of edits, but for general fine tuning it's been great.

Yeah I use my M4 15in MBA for exact same web browsing or any work I can do in a web browser (shared google sheets/online office).
Otherwise for real productivity I use my many windows computer. Also I don't know why but a USB mouse feels horribly inaccurate on a Mac. It just feels so different and even using different apps like Linear mouse to adjust speed/acceleration, I could never get it to feel similar to mouse on Windows

If you're using a mac for stuff purely in a browser, you're much better off just using a Chromebook.
