I have two MacBooks now given to me by work. I loathe these things. The two finger scroll is awful. I'm constantly getting what feels like palm rejection mid-scroll. Everything is mouse driven, including split windows and if you want to use your mouse to split your windows it shifts the window and you over to a new virtual desktop. MacOS is constantly roosterblocking me from installing any apps not from the App Store. If I connect it to my little HDMI type-C dock that hooks me into my multi-monitor setup, then leave it to sleep it will begin making a chime saying it can't provide power to my peripherals.
Docker is awful on it, (yes that's what ssh is for), devland in general is awful on it. It feels like I'm using an overwrought iOS interface.
The trackpad is obnoxiously large. There's no reason for it to be so large. My XPS 13 Developer Edition's trackpad legitimately feels as good and leagues better as far as scrolling goes.
There's also some huge performance issues if you upgrade Catalina to Big Sur and you use a model with hybrid graphics. Like out of the box, upgrade, bam issues.
- mypalmike 5y agoI definitely agree with the trackpad complaints. Pre-2016 MacBook trackpads were basically perfect. But the newer ones are truly junk. I'm holding onto my 2015 Air as long as possible, for this and other reasons related to the hardware.
