Can't persuade them to get the new XPS?

Unless you want super portable or you're using it with a docking station I'd skip the Surface Pro (it's also not got USB-C which is somewhat out of date).
Personally I don't find Windows much cop as a tablet and I don't really use the touchscreen other than watching videos,etc on trains and planes.
I'd be tempted by the Toshiba but the surface book is pretty nice.

Hi, thinking of swapping my work Mac to a PC, if I could have my way (our IT buyer is a dick), I could choose from one of these 3, what do you think?
Surface Book 2 13.5", i5 8350U / 1.7GHz, 8GB, 256GB SSD
Surafce Pro 6 12.3", i5 8350U / 1.7GHz, 8GB, 256GB SSD
They won't let you upgrade to 16Gb despite the fact that my work could benefit 16GB, because you could also choose from:
Toshiba Portege X30-E-1J7, 13.3", i7-8550U, 16GB, 512GB
Honesy truth is, I quite fancy a Surface but they specs are a bit shit, I have seen a similar model Toshiba some colleagues have, it is quite nice, also a touch screen.
The Mac I current have is 2017 13" 15 16GB 256GB.
These days I do a combination of admin and some design work...
