QVC shows off Windows snap feature as a selling point for a laptop (Cringe vid - :55s)

[Tx3Jorge]

Because who wouldn't want to work on excel on a 4 inch screen?

[SLAYR]

Well there competition is probabbly after macbooks so it is a selling point, just for windows not the actual laptop.

 

Personally the snap features is one of the only things I like about windows 10, really helps if you have a laptop with only one screen.

The snap feature is much better in Windows 10 vs 8.1 when it comes to touchscreens. Nothing beats a good touchscreen when all you have is a cheap touchpad.

But if you have multiple displays, it's the worst thing imaginable.

They have this stupid barrier thing between displays that stops your cursor while you're dragging windows unless you're flicking your mouse, and you have to completely disable snap (which I think I had to do in the registry) to get rid of it.

I was pretty sure Snap was a thing since Windows 7.

Really? I have multiple monitors and I very rarely encounter this. I really only seems to happen when you are dragging windows across monitors very, very slowly.

I ran into it very frequently before I disabled it, and my mouse's sensitivity is high enough that most people have to turn it down when they use my computer.

Maybe they improved it since then? (Not that it would matter, I prefer to eliminate as much chance as possible that my computer will decide not to do what I tell it to.)

It's not the Windows Snapping feature that catches you, it's the StickyCorners or EscapeSpeed feature that causes the issue. Disabling these will not impede Snapping.

It's a huge feature if you have a 52" 4K TV. It's like having 4 27" 1080p monitors without half of the bezels.

I've been looking at 4k monitors and actually considered this for a moment.  Assuming I had the desk space, the 35"-40" range might be decent, but 50"+ is too big for me (that's ignoring the fact that I haven't seen anything in that size range when it comes to 4k TVs)

A ton of the sales where I work come from QVC.

Also, thank you.  I didn't know that Escape Speed setting was a thing.  The default setting is at a weird middle point for me where it will occasionally catch.  

[SpaceGhostC2C]

It's plain false. They are using the size of the screen as a selling point. They make it pretty clear.

 

My fall for following clickbait, though  

[SansVarnic]

Its QVC and you were expecting what exactly?

indeed , w10 only adds you to snap to a corner (25% of the screen instead of it being only 50/50)

It is a lot better in windows 10 they added the snap assist, and vertical snap.

You can still do 50/50 in windows 10 horizontailly, and vertically.
