Because they can. Most other laptop manufacturers are producing garbage. Vaunted brands like Thinkpad and Dell are even failing to keep pace.
My wife's 2019 Dell XPS 13 is awful to use. The touchpad is horrendous, and I'm not buying Lenovo after the Superfish thing.
- rutledge87 6y agoApple has always be proprietary and always will. Apple II and Macintosh Plus days, they sold all their own peripherals. I had a Dell XPS 13 1645 that had a great display, but everything else about it was awful. Well, in reality, you can't be a purist or you'll end up with nothing. The Lenovo T480 is solid and has two batteries.
- kalleboo 6y agoWhat? The Apple II was a fantastically open machine! It even came with the circuit schematic and ROM source code right in the manual! It had lots of slots and there was a massive third-party ecosystem. It was when Jobs got to design machines with the Apple III/Lisa/Mac that things closed up.
