I have 2010 MBP, 2013 MBP, and Surface Book that I've had since Feb. I never use my MBP anymore. The hardware is great, it looks very sleek (in my opinion) and I am a big fan on Windows 10, which seems to run very well on it (no issues thus far).

edit: if you asked me 5 years ago if I would ever be happy with Microsoft, I would have laughed.

FWIW, Windows 10 runs really fast on your two MBPs, if you can get past the keyboard layout while using Windows.

This is highly subjective, but my experience running Windows on Mac hardware was that they felt snappier than OSX on the same machine.

I use Win10 on my MBP as well, and I'd say I use it 95% of the time at this point. Definitely runs snappier than OSX, and now with the Linux subsystem running, I rarely have a need to go back.

I only wish Apple would open source BootCamp and allow others to try and fix the few issues that it still has, namely around battery consumption. Highly unlikely they would ever do that, but one can dream.

Yeah, I have noticed this as well. In fact, I don't have OSX on my 2010 MBP pro at all. It only has Windows 7 on it.
