People always mention things like this when they badmouth PCs. My MBP freezes once in a while, the keyboard sometimes becomes unresponsive and I frequently have to plug-in my ethernet adapter multiple times in order to get it to connect.
I'm sure many of these issues would be easy to fix, but that isn't the point. The point is that MacOS if often reported to be a miraculous piece of software that always works and never has the issues that Windows/Linux have. I use all three operating systems on a daily basis and MacOS/Windows are honestly about the same in terms of random, petty but annoying issues that pop up out of nowhere and demand attention. Linux isn't too far behind, but when I do have a problem it generally takes longer to figure out how to fix it on Linux.
As far as the hardware goes. My MBP has slightly better build quality than my T550, but IMO they ruined the keyboard on the new version. My T550's keyboard has the function keys acting as function keys only as a secondary function and its really annoying. My MBP's keyboard is close to perfect (keys are a little worse than T550, but the layout is better).
I think the touch-screen bar should have been an addition, not a replacement.
- yequalsx 10y agoI have recently experienced my keyboard freezing on MacOS and iOS insisting I update bothers me a lot. I'm probably going with Google Pixel and project Fi. But my pain with MS from the early 2000s is such that Microsoft destroyed whatever goodwill it had. Microsoft will have to prove it warrants me giving them another chance. Even though I feel this way I still have them a try. That's how bad Apple is doing. They are doing so bad that I'm trying to leave them.
