Ergonomics are ugly. The sharp metal edge of my MacBook Pro on my wrist is a constant painful reminder of the consistent choices that are made for form over function.
- askafriend 5y agoThe aluminum frame acts as a heatsink for the entire machine - it directly contributes to thermal management. Tradeoffs aren't the same thing as making a choice purely for form over function.
- wintermutestwin 5y agoThe aluminum frame could easily have a curved beveled edge instead of a straight edge with two sharp points for the cutout. It looks "cooler" but it consistently hurts my wrist - particularly when I am typing with one hand using Logic because I have a guitar neck in my other hand. (actually doing the "cool" stuff with my laptop that Apple wants to promote)
- askafriend 5y agoI think that’s totally fair criticism.
