I have a 13“ 2017 MBP.
What is annoying:
- runs extremely hot, easily
- fans are often on full force albeit nothing special is happening
- before buying the ridiculously expensive AirPods Pro, re-connecting them (normal AirPods) after a disconnect often required a system reboot (to the point I’ve made the reboot part of my pre-meeting schedule)
- connecting external devices usually requires adapters. With them too, when the adapter stopped working usually it helped connecting it on the right side (Reboots weren’t helping)
- for some reason the adapter would work on the left side again after some time
- as soon as I connect the external screen (not even a retina one) the fans go louder
- time machine is a PITA. Every time it runs fans are blaring up, machine gets hot - even system is getting significantly slower. Even if it just backs up a diff of 150MB. And it runs multiple times a day, with no option of configuration other than no auto-backup at all.
- Window’s decade old window management via shortcuts still doesn’t exist in macOs (you have to install a third party tool for that)

- woodpanel 7y agoWell maybe it's due to mine being gen 1 AirPods ️?
