Keyboards and trackpads were a differentiator for the MacBook, during its rise. They might not stand out today, but ten years ago they were exceptional compared with almost all of their competitor's laptop keyboards. The layout may not have been optimal, but at least the keys didn't feel like they were going to fall off at every press.
- wmichelin 9y agoI think they're still better than anything on the market. It could be at the software level, but I've never once seen or used a Windows laptop with decent two finger scrolling.
- dingo_bat 9y agoI think most windows laptops today do two finger scrolling really well. The pinch and zoom is shit though.
- akurilin 9y agoAgreed. As someone who regularly gets "Linux laptops" for work, their keyboards flex inwards and their touchpads are miserable. I often carry a wireless mouse with me to meetings because using those things ends up being such a pain. Never had that issue with Macs.
