The Start menu itself also houses some quality-of-life changes, including being able to organize apps within folders, as well as scroll through recommended apps. BSA is often used in clinical purposes over body weight because it is a more accurate indicator of metabolic mass (the body's need for energy). Metabolic mass can be estimated using fat-free mass, where fat-free mass is all of a person's body mass that does not include fat. This includes bones, tendons, inner organs, muscles, blood, nerves, and more. Since body fat is not metabolically active and fat-free mass excludes body fat, fat-free mass is a reasonable estimate of metabolic mass. The screen is still crisp and good-looking – great for working at home or an office – but only has a maximum brightness of 400 nits (compared with 500nits) on rivals and isn’t as smooth as the Surface Pro 9 tablet, among others.
