- HiDPI screen - Surface has this
- OS that supports HiDPI well - Windows 10 has good support for this now
- good touchpad - Surface touchpads are very close to Apple ones these days and I'd argue the key part of keyboards are superior as is the touch and pen support.
- unix environment as a first class citizen - WSL2 (while Linux not Unix) is a first class citizen.
How is Microsofts telemetry any more "snooping" than Apples telemetry? I mean they both do it...
- foldr 6y agoAFAIK all other touchpads still use a physical mechanism for clicks. I would not want to go back to that after getting used to the haptic trackpads.
- jen20 6y agoThe surface screens are nice, but mixed DPI screens on Windows are a complete mess - even Linux handles it better. Surface keyboards are mushy and imprecise - frankly not even as good as the one on my iPad Pro, let alone the Macbook Pro which is to date the only keyboard I can type on for a whole day without significant RSI flaring. WSL2 is absolutely not a first class citizen - right now I have to opt into a build with _required_ telemetry to use it. In fact the Microsoft telemetry and update regime is a disgrace to the company (apparently outside of enterprise SKUs which also do not support WSL2) - if you think they’re comparable to what Apple collect I don’t know what to tell you. And Candy Crush with advertising in the start menu... JFC someone needs to be fired for that.
- eknkc 6y ago- I haven't had any issues with my multi monitor setup and multiple DPI values recently. - Subjective. I love old Macbook keyboards. I hate new ones. - WSL2 is available on mainline Win10 - Yeah
- ryneandal 6y agoWSL is cool, but definitely not "*nix as a first-class citizen" status.
