I had an X1 Carbon (6th gen) from Costco (which is a great deal) between MacBooks a few months back. I returned it within the 90 days because the speakers, trackpad, and display all felt several generations behind MacBooks in terms of usability. I’m not happy with lots of the MBP changes like most HN users but I can’t believe the rest of the industry hasn’t caught up. The Microsoft Surface trackpads are only slightly better than the X1. I’m not even a big trackpad user, but it’s just so annoying to have one that I dread using.
