    Yeah, it's a real shame. I've upgraded to a Thinkpad T460 since, and I'm loving it. The keyboard is tactile, with tons of travel, and the machine itself is built like a tank. Everything is fairly accessible and upgradeable, as well.

    It's not just the neglected update cycle. Macs in general are simply... worse, with regard to the quality of their hardware. Their thermals are piss-poor, their port selection is barren, the new butterfly keyboards manage to be both noisy and shallow, and they're even less repairable than they were 7-8 years ago (I mean, look at the Mac Pro). All this results in a machine that looks beautiful... and pretty much nothing else. I used to like Macbooks for their reliability-- my MBP from 2010 still works perfectly. I wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole nowadays.
