I had to get what I think is a new MacBook pro because my boss demands we use osx

I have to use 14 adapters at my desk to accomplish things like "use an external monitor" and " have a mouse"

I had a meeting, got up to close my MacBook, closed it gently about 75% of the way down. One of the nine adapters I had plugged in had caught in between the hinge and the top right corner of the laptop. I get to my meeting. I have a large crack in the bottom right corner of the screen and the bottom 10% and rightmost 10% of the screen is now unusable. There is no mark on the outside of the glass, no scuff mark, no nothing.

This was my MacBook pro review thank you for listening

oh and it feels like poo poo to type on

E: why is there a touch thing where function keys are. It just has what the function keys would have. But it's touch instead. I do not understand.

I was never really an Apple products person but it's kind of funny watching them turn into what weird android/windows evangelists accused them of being in 2010

fairly?

assuming you have two sizes of pentalobe driver on hand and some suction cups, it's not too egregious, but it'll take 30 min or so and you'll need to be careful of the display cables. the whole screen has to come out to get at the hdd

Holy poo poo lol

I am truly baffled by why they had to make the keyboard so thin in the first place, because my ThinkPad is exactly the same thickness as current generation MacBook pro both open and closed, and it has normal keys with like 3mm of travel

It also has three full size USB ports

haha look at this thinkpad using peasant

I think the 200 dollar VESA adapter is more insulting than the stand, tbh

thats just a "gently caress you, dumb bitch" to the consumer. there's no other way to frame that

the OS is much smoother but I also miss being able to swipe left and right to go 'forward' and 'back' contextually, if that makes sense.

like in android if you went to settings, then down into keyboard settings, then swiped left, you'd go 'back' to the settings page. Does something like that exist

yes, you swipe left or right

oh drat you're a genius

I couldnt tell because iOS doesnt count the swipe unless you start it from the leftmost pixel on the screen

im also having trouble pressing and holding to select text half the time but I'm assuming its just my dumb android hands, I'm holding it wrong, etc, etc

on the plus side, text messages/convos are about 400 times better
