Wait, how can too thin be annoying op?
>>53469175
I use OSX, but only hardware.
It's called a "hackintosh" and it's the only way to fly.
Getting a macbook for designing. Wait for 2016 models or buy 2015/2014?

This is so autistic it hurt to read. Homebrew is 100% based, kid. Go back to your toy OS.

Ridiculously overpriced and fucking shitty OS.

come on now, it's widely recognized that Apple has the best trackpad solution in the industry.

Dunno, the newer Asus trackpads I've tried felt a bit smoother plus the click is nicer than the new forcetouch whatever Apple has
can't afford one :S

A good first attempt at a copy.
the one thing macs do NOT have is backward compatibility.
also, the finder is objectively garbage. even linux has better file management, and both dont touch windows explorer (deal with it).
>>53469550
Really? Since I got used to the ForceTouch™ trackpad I can't go back to anything else. Even older macbook's trackpads feel weird.
>>53474083
What's so great about it? Feels a bit stiff and has less feedback than older models
>>53474148
I'm coming from an Asus and I still believe they make the most reliable laptops on the market.
I don't find the trackpad stiff especially when you click on the top parts of it, also you can change the strength of the feedback. That's what I like the most actually.
Considering the smoothness, two months ago I was eyeing an Asus and when I tried the trackpad I was literally disgusted, you could really feel a delay between actions and what happens on the screen. This singlehandedly made me consider a mac and I am not disappointed at all (talking only about the trackpad here). I'm actually baffle it took everyone this long to catch up.
