Why I'm officially quitting Apple Laptops
- reasonablemann 8y agoWhy does Apple keep trying to patch up the butterfly? When will they accept that the technology is a failure?
- pier25 8y agoI'm guessing people working at Apple are not idiots. Probably they couldn't find any other way of keeping the small profile and since everyone was expecting a redesign they had to go with it. I imagine Apple is working on a complete redesign of their laptop line, but that takes time. Specially when the Mac is only 10% of your business.
- geophile 8y agoYeah, me too. Mostly it's the keyboard and execrable touchbar. But also, just the general decline in quality of Apple software and design. Got a System76 Darter. Very happy with it. Great keyboard. By the way, the dude in that video is really irritating to listen to and watch. What is up with his hands?
- chmaynard 8y agoGood riddance, we don't want whiners badmouthing our products on social media. Have a nice day.
- pier25 8y agoI had been waiting for the new MBP, and when Apple released the 2016 touchbar models I went and bought the 2015 15'' model. I used the 2015 for a year before selling it because the Intel GPU was seriously underpowered and the 4th gen CPU ran too hot which made the fans annoyingly audible too often. So since I din't need the portability I ended up getting a 5K iMac, which is quite frankly the best Mac I've ever owned. I still use a 2014 13'' MBP that I had lying around on the rare times I travel or work away from home. I hope Apple knows all the problems with the current laptop line, but if they don't do something quick they will end up losing a lot of audience. Unless something drastic happens my next laptop won't be an Apple one.
