Yeah but Windows

Microsoft is rolling out new Surface laptops they claim can outperform Apple's MacBook Air, which is all fine and good.

Convincing people their devices are better based purely on specs, as if the operating system has nothing to do with it, is completely misguided. They’re a non-starter for so many because they run Windows: a bloated, creepy, ad-riddled mess.

A snappier chip and an unhelpful, invasive AI assistant can't fix that.
