remember that article a day ago complaining that they used old processors? that's another benefit. microsoft shipped skylake with an experimental sleep state (one hp refused to turn on) and it was a disaster. not being cutting edge is how apple will keep its hardware "just working."
now if apple would only add a trackpoint :(
- stephenr 10y agoApple trackpads are widely regarded as the best, period. Mac laptops don't need a nipple that 1% of ex-think pad users froth at the mouth for and everyone else finds annoying.
- basch 10y agounlike a trackpad, it has a learning curve. however, if it were marketed as a superior product, and more people tried it, and they got over that couple hour hump of frustration, there would be a market for it. it is a superior navigation device, with practice.
- stephenr 10y agoMarketing something as a superior product doesn't make it superior. Apple is about providing simplified solutions to problems. A Trackpad AND a nipple that hardly anyone will use, is not a simplified solution.
