My experience so far is that the surface line up is the best line to invest in. Yes the surface pro 3 is prohibitively expensive, but the experience I have is that its generally a very good, solid and very durable build quality. I have two surface pro first generation device. One which I bought at launch at full price of 1200 dollars. But three years later I bought another second hand one as a backup device for only 300 dollars as a backup device. I do not notice any major reduction in performance, stability or battery life between both devices. To me that says something about durability of these devices. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another surface device in the future. If the price is high, you know the price will drop significantly down the road, but it will perform just as well. Patience then is a virtue.
Eve-T1 apart from the good pricing the performance and portability is great! Always having the full laptop functionality in my pocket and with new Windows Eve-T1's performance is even better! Can't wait to have the final version of Windows 10 on my Eve-T1. 
Hello,
I agree with the post of Wevenhuis, the Surface lineup is great. I have a Surface Pro 2 and I like it, it is a powerful machine.
But sometimes it's too much like for reading or watching little videos (courses), I bought a HP Stream 7 and it not a great experience; yes it works but it's slow when you start multitasking and 7" is a little bit too small.
I was looking for a tablet a little bit larger than the Stream 7 with better perfs; that's why I bought the Eve T1 and I am very happy with it.
The price is a little bit higher than the Stream 7 but it is totally justified.

Dell is one of the best brand names in Laptop industry. So, if you're looking for a perfect Windows laptop at 2015, then I would recommend you to purchase Dell XPS 13. It has a nearly borderless display, a very small body for a 13 - inch laptop and the latest Intel CPUs. Also, it provides you best configuration, that you will expect in your laptop.

I went with the HP Spectre x360 with the QHD (2560x1440) screen, 512gb hard drive, i7 processor.
Overall, it's a very good machine. Well designed and versatile. It's a bit cheaper the Surface Pro if you match the specs with the only major difference is the Spectre's non-removable keyboard that flips all the around for tablet mode. Battery life is decent and lasts about 6-8 hours for me in real world use.
My only cons for the machine is a non-adjustable backlight (it's either on or off with no dimming or brightness). The laptop fan can kick on and get annoying even during light use sometimes as well. Except for that, I think it's one of the best laptops for 2015.

I‘ve always considered these “best this-and-that of 2015” lists highly problematic because qualifying a device is much harder than quantifying it. For example: it’s quite easy to say which laptop was the best selling laptop of 2015, or which tablet was the best selling tablet of last month. However, qualifying a laptop and thereby claiming that product ABC is the best laptop available right now is nearly impossible: requirements differ so much between even only two users that it’s a moot point to begin with. Take a hardcore gamer and my mom – what do they have in common? Nothing whatsoever. Thus, whatever my mom would consider to be the best laptop for her might be worthless to the gamer, and whatever he or she would consider to be the best laptop for them might drive my mom nuts.
There are so many factors – screen size (yes, size matters!), noise, performance, operating system, storage space, graphics performance, versatility, etc. pp. Thus, there is no single “best” laptop 2015, there are only some that are better than others under certain circumstances and very specific conditions. Here’s a very specific example: the HP Spectre x360, which has been glorified as the single best laptop since the invention of computers, would be completely useless to me, personally. First of all I know for sure from experience that a 1,44kg tablet is about 1kg too heavy to be used accordingly. Thus, I’d probably be playing with the hinge for a while but after a month or two would never again use it in tablet mode. Second, I hate noise, especially the kind that fans make. For me, a laptop has to be completely noiseless. Thus, a laptop whose fans spin up occasionally wouldn’t even survive a single day on my desk – it’d be gone within mere hours.
Take these lists with a grain of salt – they’re good laptops but certainly not “the best” out there, because the one single best laptop for all use cases simply does not exist.
