I'm sick of Apple breaking things for no damn reason and then acting like I'm the problem for not just going along with it. > I think the primary argument is that Touch Bar sucks That's not the primary argument. Most people who dislike this machine think the touch bar is at least inoffensive, if not particularly useful. The primary arguments are: 1. If you get so much as a speck of dust in the keyboard, it bricks the machine and requires a >$500 repair, with no guarantees that it won't happen again the very next day. 2. The lack of useful ports means you have to carry dongles (at $80 a pop) everywhere. 3. They made a perfectly thin-enough and light-enough machine thinner and lighter, giving it worse battery life for no good reason. 4. They made a perfectly big-enough trackpad bigger, increasing the spurious input rate for no good reason.
