The touch bar doesn't give you the ability to touch it without click like a key. It also replaces all the f keys and the escape key.

It is by far the worst thing made when working say on the bus. There is no world in which the touch bar is good in any way. There are zero benefits to it. On two years with this monstrosity I have regretted having it. And now I am seriously considering moving to windows with the new Linux subsystem.

WSL is great and I like my Surface Pro. It's not ready for "real" work yet IMO, but it's improving noticeably every update.

WSL2 is supposed to be a great improvement again.

The Surface hardware is also nice. The only downside is the mediocre touchpad, but I can live with that.
