Windows is still shitty. After three years of using an M2 MacBook Pro for work and having my own M2 MacBook Air, using a Microsoft Surface laptop is a death by a thousand cuts

1. The fans are constantly going.

2. Everything causes the hourglass cursor to pop up - even just clicking on a button in Outlook

3. It takes awhile for the screen to redraw. Way back in the pre - OS X days, I use to be jealous of how fast Windows drawing was in comparison.

4. Every time my laptop goes to sleep, I have to unplug and replug my external USB C powered external monitor.

5. Did I mention the constant humming of the fans?

6. Even how it handles multiple desktops is inferior to Macs

7. Hopefully I can run WSL2 on my work computer. I can’t imagine being stuck with PowerShell/cmd

I don’t even want to think about how bad the battery life is going to be compared to modern ARM based Macs.

Yes both my MacBook Air and Windows computer have 16 GB RAM
