I just (couple of weeks ago) received my First Mac, a 2019 MacBook Pro to work with... and I really don't get the "HW good" meme... The MacBook Pro HW is mediocre, at best. The body is heavy. Boy, have anyone used and LG gram? But even my other work laptop (a Lenovo) wheight less and feel more balanced. My model has only the usbc ports.. I don't even have an HDMI one. My model has the infamous touchbar, and it sucks. A lot. But even the keys... They seems empty, I don't have feedback from them... And for the ginormous touchpad... I ended using a mouse because that "thing" it's awful to use. I don't give a dime to the gestures... The problem is the lack of feedback! Not a click, a way to understand if you "did" something or not. It was so absurd that I though it was damaged. I really don't get the "Mac HW is stellar" meme

  it's not broken... the problem is that, for my fingertip, the haptic feedback is not enough. I want "physical" feedback.

    The haptic feedback on my M1 Air is indistinguishable from the physical click of my 2013 Pro's springboard-design trackpad. Are you maybe comparing it to some low-quality trackpad that has a lot of flex?

      I'm comparing against almost all the other trackpads I've ever encountered in my life. The latests ones are the LG gram one and the lenovo E570, but I've used any kind of laptops in my career (HP, sony vaio, etc...) I can use and I feel "some kind of a" click on this macbook trackpad, but it's just awful to use.
