What laptops don’t have issues?
Many people seem to think MacBooks have exceptionally high build quality and they have m̶o̶s̶t̶ all of the types of issue you listed:
• Overheating https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2020/06/24/apple-macbook-air-overheating-hot-design-fan-cooling-problems/?sh=61e53f8c777c https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2020/06/24/apple-mac...
• thermal throttling
• sleep issues (IIRC they’re hard to keep awake while trying to use them closed and docked to an external monitor in “clamshell mode”)
• trackpad issues (subjective and they do seem to have the largest trackpad fanbase,
but some have complained they’re too large and easy to brush while typing;
perhaps the palm rejection isn’t good enough for everybody)
• charging issues (they charge differently through ports on one side vs. the other
and some have complained they build up charges that can be felt when picking them up)
• HDMI issues
• keyboard issues (butterfly keyboards destroyed by dust, Apple delayed addressing this for years IIRC).
Plus staingate. Plus actively anti-repair design and a user hostile OS.
Edits: bullets and paragraph separation, found the last type of issue (overheating)
- hyperdimension 6y ago> "clamshell mode" Yeah, that particular phrase kind of irks me. Most people who don't use Apple products simply call that 'with the lid closed.'
