That's the crux with Apple, for me at least. Hardware is excellent and I love it, but the software is so bad that it makes it really hard to justify purchasing the hardware. At least on the computers I can chose what OS I run, no such luck on other devices from them.
- cassianoleal 4y agoAnyone who's ever used Linux or Windows on their Mac knows that a lot of what makes the trackpads great is software. On these other OSs, the Mac trackpad is not much better than any other. Don't get me wrong, the trackpad hardware is far better IMO but the experience of using it is really only great on macOS.
- capableweb 4y agoI've never used Windows on a Apple laptop before, but the experience of using Apple touchpad with Linux/Gnome (with a little bit of tweaking) is definitely a better experience than using Linux/Gnome on for example a Surface Pro 8 touchpad. The size matter, but also the material and hardware implementation. There is a clear difference in just the hardware, not just software.
- cassianoleal 4y ago> with a little bit of tweaking > better experience than using Linux/Gnome on for example a Surface Pro 8 touchpad Sure, when you compare the absolute best with one of the worst, there will be a clear difference. Still, note that you made the point yourself about tweaking - which is done in software. > There is a clear difference in just the hardware, not just software. I agree. In fact, I said so. :)
