                      1. Switching from a Macbook Pro (early 2015) to Surface Laptop 3. So far so (pretty) good.

                      First of all: My MBP runs Windows 10. I'm just not a macOS user. I bought it for the hardware, not the software.

                    The Surface Laptop 3 (SF3) is definitely on par or even an upgrade in terms of hardware. I love the 3:2 screen, the keyboard, the trackpad, its black finish. The overall build-quality is 👌

                  It's also pretty fast, but that's not a surprise switching from a 5th gen Intel i5 with 8 GB RAM to a 10th gen i7 with 16 gigs. The thing is, this cost me a little over € 1500* instead of € 2000 or more (which is what Apple would charge). * At a 10% discount on the MS Store.

                There are a few minor-ish gripes though...

              The SF3 has big, good trackpad. It's a Precision Touchpad so it supports Windows 10 gestures (the MBP didn't). But it has no (separate) setting for two-finger scroll speed and the default is just a bit too slow.

            What's even weirder, most apps ignore the mouse's scroll speed setting when using the touchpad - but some don't. What you end up with is a inconsistent scroll speed - which is (too) slow in *most* apps - and that ends up being a sub-optimum experience.

          Btw, the slow scroll speed and missing setting turns out to be a Pricision Touchpad driver thing. It's just not supported. I assume this means that pretty much every laptop with PTP has the same issue. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/component-guidelines/touchpad-tuning-guidelines#two-finger-scrolling-speed

        The second thing is the fn key, which doubles as a fn-lock. - Use the fn-key with another key and it works as a usual modifier key (the same as how SHIFT modifies whatever key you press at the same time).

      - If you press just the fn-key, it 'toggles' fn-lock. So every key you press after that gets modified until you press fn again (the same as how CAPSLOCK works).
