We have something similar, only dual boot Windows 10 / Ubuntu (for promiscuous mode packet capture). While currently on a standard laptop, I really like the usability and flexibility of the latest 2-in-1s as compared to something like a Surface Pro (we have a few of those in users' hands) or a traditional laptop.

Run Ekahau on Windows side, native packet capture etc on OS X side.

I'm currently using a Surface Pro 2 to run our Ekahau site survey software and it's performed very well for me over the years. But, alas it's starting to show its age, so it's time to look for its successor. Obviously based on my experience a Surface Pro 4 would be a logical choice, but I'm interested to hear what others are using. So over to you...
