Long term Mac user, currently with Macbook Pro.
It's Apple that offsets the damn touchpad. I don't want it central to the case, I want it central to the home keys (F and J) of the keyboard.
Apple centres with the case. Which is broken. There's more keys on the right side of a keyboard than the left (without a number pad), thanks to punctuation and brackets, so hands rest slightly left of case centre line.
Truth be told I'd prefer Apple fit a trackpoint, but that's never happening.
- dbingham 8y agoI have one of the old MacBook Pros where the homerow was centered on the case, and so was the touchpad. Which is exactly what I want.
- NeedMoreTea 8y agoSo do I (2015). There's roughly half a key of trackpad to the left of F, and roughly 1.5 to the right of J. For me that's mis-aligned with where my hands rest, even if both component blocks are neatly case centred for pretty and symmetric photos. The moral of which is, I suppose, that personal preferences are hard to align. :)
