Totally agree, especially about bloatware. I went to reinstall a machine and realized it took me 2x as long to turn off the Apple stuff I didn't want to use, as it did to install the OS. I don't want 80% of the software that comes with a Mac. * Fixing the MacBook Pro | Hacker News || https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15773810 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15773810 I wrote (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15773810#15773984 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15773810#15773984): * Keys break. A lot. Probably 1/4th of my friends with this machine have broken keys. Never happened on the old MBPs. (As I type this I'm using a mechanical Razer keyboard plugged into a dongle plugged into a 2016 MBP with a broken G key.) * Trackpad is too big. What was the point, honestly? Nobody said, "My use case is I want a trackpad that's impossible not to bump when I type." * MagSafe was great, bring it back. Every Apple product from now until the end of time should use a MagSafe power connector. * TouchBar sucks. End of story. I miss the ESC key. I've literally never been like, "Oh gosh, I'm glad I have a TouchBar to change the volume... what a great feature!" It' just inflates production cost without adding value. * Machines lack power... CPU and RAM. Old MBPs felt like they were amazing machines that would stand up over time. 16 GB RAM has been the cap for how many years now? Like a decade? Yeah... * USB-C... other than dongles, I don't know a single accessory that uses a USB-C. Everything is Thunderbolt or USB-3. So... yeah let's have at least one USB-3 plug. I've got a USB and HDMI adapter that I use every day. Anyway nothing is built using a USB-C... I get pushing for new tech, but it seems more just like a way to add $250 in dongle sales to every new laptop sold. * They are more expensive than the old ones. =( * Office, Steam, other things... still don't run as well on Mac as they do on PC. If Apple isn't for Gamers, it has to be for people who do work? Or... look, who are the "Pro" lines for these days? ==================================== What I do want on my Mac? I just dumped my "New" MBP and went back to my 2013 model. The 2013 model is damn near perfect. Wish it had a bit more power, but it's still better than carrying dongles and losing MagSafe. I want actual improvements in the OS. It's so obnoxious that MacOS still STILL doesn't have window docking. * Magnet – Window manager for Mac || http://magnet.crowdcafe.com/ http://magnet.crowdcafe.com/
