Davoo1797yFor some people, computer can't exist without a mouse.
My mother in law has a macbook pro and she never tried the touchpad more than 30sec... So sad.. U_U -
620hun84147yMac touch pads are great. Everything else sucks, and that's coming from a PC guy. I always carry a mouse with me.

Root828727y@Greggergalactic While they're nice, they aren't without issues. See my earlier rant!
@620hun They're actually pretty nice. Sincerely, an ex-mac hater.
Though I still totally prefer linux. -
rfc716828307yBut-but- ... Trackpoint! D:
(I'd use one on my desktop computer also if it had one ...) -
tilde31827yI took a really long time to get comfortable with using a touchpad. Especially since my older laptop had a shitty texture on it which felt like I was moving my fingers on sandpaper.
I don't mind them now but I'm still waay more productive with a mouse and keyboard. -
Root828727y@Greggergalactic it wasn't the editor; Sublime was the only thing doing its job correctly!
But yeah, idk what was going on there, but I haven't heard of it happening to anyone else either. -
@Greggergalactic Did you try some modern good laptop with precision touchpad? (dell xps, surface, lenovo... not cheap ones)
@620hun who cares if the build is sexy? (if you have to work on it and not just show up, specially if it mean fan noise and heating up). retina display is just a commercial name, there are display with higher dpi, color accuracy ecc -
@Greggergalactic more or less I agree, but for that price, probably even cheaper (of course not the ones for 300$), you can buy a pc more powerful, better battery life, better display, good touchpad like a mac (there is nothing better at the moment), that last in the long run (like my ibm t60 core2duo)... the rest I agree, is up to people
-
@Greggergalactic yeah... on the other hand I hate when people says "mac is fast, good quality, good display ecc..." but actually they compare it with a 300$ pc with crappy hw, shitty drivers and hdd not ssd :D
-
sideways2477yi like where this is going, from a sweet coat and magical trackpads turning in to touchpads (i heared) to comparing mac vs pc, next stop to mars or pluto pun intended
-
@sideways did you try a precisionn touchpad... Or you stopped at magical trackpad from god apple?
-
I don't like the laptop touchpads, but if I was on the subway I'd use it instead of what she's doing...
