Full-screen Start actually makes sense on a tablet

First time owning a Windows tablet and I gotta say—tablet mode actually looks good on this thing. Gives me slight Windows 10 Mobile vibes, honestly.

Never really liked the Start screen and tiles on a desktop setup, but on a touchscreen? It just clicks.

    With Live Tiles, you can see weather, calendar events, email counts, and news at a glance without opening any apps. It turns the Start screen into a functional dashboard rather than just a launcher.

    The large, square Live Tiles (and the even larger icons in the "All apps" list) are sized perfectly for fingers.They're far easier to tap accurately than the tiny text links in a classic Start menu.
