The Life and Death of the Touch Bar: Revisiting the MacBook Pro
Honestly this whole situation is so frustrating as a user.<p>I now have a 2017 MBP and every day I try to hate it a little less but it&#x27;s hard work. I miss the old keyboard. Touch Bar is gimmicky and I&#x27;d be happier without it. Only USB-C is idiotic. No more Magsafe stil kills me. The old trackpad was better.<p>For years I just wanted a better Macbook Air (ie upgraded display and specs). The 13&quot; MBA was about perfect IMHO. Reasonably cheap and a great form factor. Yet even Apple succumbed to the fatal disease of &quot;adding value&quot; by changing a winning formula. Force Touch lack discovery and is terrible (this is particularly the case for the phones).<p>Sadly, the alternative (non-Apple laptops) is just so much worse. I have a Dell XPS 15 and it&#x27;s fine I guess but it&#x27;s STILL much worse than MBP&#x2F;OSX.<p>Why does everything suck?
