If Windows OS is critical to you, of course you should look at a windows PC......
It's okay to need both operating systems.
If Windows is critical of your job, then you should probably have a windows dedicated machine. It's fine to have both, but relying on software like bootcamp for it is not the best idea, because of the random bugs, compatibility and other issues. If it's not financially critical and you need both for games or other software its probably fine, but if you rely on it for income or something else critical then it's probably wise to get a nice windows machine that you know every time you need it it will work perfectly. At that point it's likely wise to put more money into a more critical machine, and then spend less on a device that you just prefer. I thought it funny though that somebody would return a MAC because it couldn't run Windows due to bugs.
It's been my experience that running Windows using Boot Camp on MacBook Pro is as good or better than a dedicated Windows laptop.
I've had some issues, it's mostly been good although I prefer parallels, I'm not saying it'll run badly or anything, I'm just saying I would never have a different device than the OS that I absolutely need, it would be like running a hackintosh for your professional work. Will it work? Yes, but there isn't nearly as much support or guarantee that it will run smoothly, and one day it might have some weird random glitch that can absolutely destroy your time and money.
That actually sounds really cool. I'd hang on to the '16, since it isn't critical. It's a great machine it just needs some bug fixes.
With new macs, I don't really see many reasons to run Boot Camp instead of just installing Windows directly using UEFI (if one can follow instruction for using diskpart and terminal). Mac drivers can be installed afterwards.

[doublepost=1485035578][/doublepost]I don't think your going to get that to work in Bootcamp....they need uefi firmware to boot to windows 8 or 10 and I don't think bootcamp supports this.....I might be wrong though. You can get a vmplayer on vmware.com....and use that to boot to windows on your mac.
Been using Bootcamp for years and it has been near bullit proof. Just because you had problems, it does not mean we have. I recently did move to a Surfacebook but only because Apple removed all the ports on their devices.
Boot Camp creates a UEFI install of Windows 10 on the Late 2016 MBP. Did you not see that the OP solved his problem and the proof I provided showing that Boot Camp creates a UEFI install??
