Macbook Pros still have best screens, best touchpads and unix operating system that just works and is perfectly compatible with the hardware.
The only thing that comes close is XPS oine from Dell. Thinkpads with linux just can't compare (bad screens, software trouble with "reasonable resolution", no MS office, etc). Anything with Windows can't compare, since who would want to use spying os with ads in start menu?
I would love anything as good as MBP but there just isn't anything.
- spamizbad 8y ago> and unix operating system that just works There were some pretty devastating security flaws in the recent version that are eerily reminiscent of the kind other OSes saw in the 80s and 90s (Plaintexting passwords)

- ordinaryradical 8y agoThis is my precise dilemma. I want all of what glogla champions, but I have tried the new keyboards for an hour or so in the stores and they are like typing on ice. There are essentially two input devices in a modern computer: Apple has nailed the trackpad, but they've flubbed the keyboard.
- nerdponx 8y agoApple touchpads are still the only ones I can stand to use.
- dmitriid 8y agoThey managed to screw the trackpad, though. It's too big in the latest model, and falsely recognizes too many touches. And don't get me started on the force touch which is on by default, very inconsistent and mapped to "look up in dictionary" because that's exactly what anyone would want from this feature.
- liquidify 8y agoWhy did they do this? Their touch pads have been the best in the world for a long time, and they screwed it up. Another big one for me was the removal of the magnetic charging port. That was the single greatest part of the computer and they took it away.

- binarycrusader 8y agoBest screens? Perhaps one of the best, but not the best in my personal opinion. I really like the 3:2 aspect ratio / resolution combination on the latest Surface Book.
- Lio 8y agoHow about the puri.sm laptops? Also although I still love my 2013 MBP and macOS it’s really annoying that Apple have things like Split View that can’t be run from the keyboard. It’s like they’ve forgotten how professionals use Macs at speed.
