    If it's well engineered, then yes I can see how it's more convenient. But for me it's about the humane aspect of it.

    It's also funny MS claims that their Surface Laptop is 56% faster than an M3 air. I mean, that's a laptop without a fan, using a 2023 SoC, of course it's way faster. My MBP M3 Pro, whilst being 2x...

    It's also funny MS claims that their Surface Laptop is 56% faster than an M3 air. I mean, that's a laptop without a fan, using a 2023 SoC, of course it's way faster. My MBP M3 Pro, whilst being 2x more expensive, is probably almost on par with this device.
