Let’s chalk that one down as a tomorrow problem. Thankfully, I never felt the need to head into the Start Menu during my working day. I have no idea what to do with it or what it expects from me. It is then capped off with a tile-based interface which reminds me of Windows Phone. To the right of that, there’s an alphabetical list of – I think – installed apps. To the left, there’s an expandable menu that gives you access to common areas such as Settings and Documents.

However, curiosity got the better of me on a couple of occasions, and I couldn’t help but take a peek into the Start Menu. As a result, I haven’t delved into its settings or spent much time at all having a play and snoop around Windows 10 itself. I’ve only spent a day with the Surface Laptop 4, which meant I had little choice but to simply get the basics ready for work duties. The Start Menu is an incomprehensible mess Trust me, when you switch between the two platforms, this is the main annoyance.Īnd, yes, I know you can remap keys. I’d completely forgotten that Windows uses Ctrl as its main modifier key for keyboard shortcuts. Wow, muscle memory is a pain in the arse, isn’t it? Re-learning keyboard shortcuts is damn hard There’s so much fuss surrounding the addition of touch to macOS, and it’s entirely pointless. You reach out and touch stuff when it feels natural to do so and revert to the keyboard and trackpad when it doesn’t. When you get your hands on a Windows laptop that has a touchscreen, it just makes sense. It blurs the line between macOS and iPadOS. Users will get themselves into a right state if they’re given touch control. There aren’t enough finger-sized touch targets. I’ve heard so many opinions on why Apple should or shouldn’t add touch support to Macs. Macs need touch support (and it isn’t a big deal)
