    Just done two weeks on the surface pro 4. First PC in 2 decades. Back to my mac now. Like windows, like the touch screen / flexibility, but so many little annoyances that add up to just loads of time and being pissed off. Bloody hell.

    • for example?mekk
    • Sounds like jogging around the block twice and giving up on the marathon. Familiarity takes time.formed
    • maybe your annoyances are fixable in the settings or caused by 3rd party apps?mekk
    • Craig sums up my windows experiences also but yeah mekk has a point.since1979
    • scaling, impossible to type '—' on surface keyboard, backup to only one local drive, battery is rubbish... 'Fixable', probably but the time spent 'fixing'...nocraigatkinson
    • the keyword is "First PC in 2 decades"drgs
    • or just admit youre old and set in your waysdrgs
    • Ha, yea set in my ways, not old though. And actually, not that set in my ways. Always open to new stuff and wanted to try windows for a long timecraigatkinson
    • whenever I see craig's name pop up it's normally asking questions about new tech of one sort or another... I wouldn't say he's set in his ways :)BuddhaHat

      Why is that so difficult?!      detritus
    • Also, apparently, ' [Ctrl]+[Alt]+-' which I didn't know til I just googled it.detritus
    • it's difficult because it's unintuitive, and annoying, and infinitely easier on a Mac which he's used to, and in 2016 it shouldn't be so archaicmonospaced
    • I've been working on a PC for almost two years now and I hate it as much as I did on my 1st dayscruffics
    • lol at hating a piece of inanimate electronics.face_melter
    • @face_melter, this entire thread is about hating on inanimate objectsmonospaced
    • Buddhahat, you noticed! Yes, it's like an illness! Detritus, as I said, it's impossible on the surface keyboard, it just doesnt work, try it.craigatkinson
    • BTW, MBP (with usb slots) + Google Pixel + Google software / docs / mail etc is as good as it gets I think. Today at least.craigatkinson
