What, you're not impressed by apple going with the same uninspired brushed aluminum macbook design 15 years in a row? What about the same beveled slab of black glass for the iPhone? Is that not innovative enough for you?
Yah I wish Apple made laptops like those Windows laptops, with angular wedged plastic housing holding a barely functioning trackpad and 30 different USB-A ports with grills and 5 fans and all topped off by bright rainbow LEDs everywhere and of course an Intel-Inside sticker so you remember what kind of CPU you have in case you forgot.
Maybe add a Dragon print on the cover as well? That would be so cool. I am also an adult.
You forgot the screen lid hinge that always breaks in an unacceptable time, either completely or getting to a point a slight vibration causing screen to shake because of loose hinges.
Because it's indicative of systemic failures. Why waste space and add bulk to carry around ports you never use? Did you think adding those things come at no cost?
Because maybe I do use ports and don't want to have to use a dongle to plug stuff in. Even apple realized their excesses and brought some more ports back. They've totally lost the plot on devices
Correct, mine weighs about half an ounce and I think I have used it maybe twice in the last 7 years. To be honest, this comment is going to prompt me to go find it in my bag and toss it.
There are (were?) other OEMs that at least tried stuff, although not as much anymore. Lenovo has the trackpoint on the keyboard, Microsoft tried a high powered detachable (Surface Book), Asus has that dual screen laptop thing, Lenovo tried the Yoga swivel display/tablet convertible, there's Framework.
Do you have a concrete example of a laptop from 15 years ago that in your view and experience had better design than the current generation MacBook Pro?
