I'm done. I'm still on my 2015 MBP, my next computer will be a Thinkpad.


I sold my MBPro 2016 and got back to the early 2015 version. Also, i own Lenovo X1 Yoga (with touch display). So i have two laptops that i really love to use. If apple keeps producing crap the Lenovo way will probably be my way also. For now the MBpro 2015 is my work horse though


You don't use any Apple-only software? The hardware I buy has always been determined by the software I need.


I would consider a Thinkpad if Lenovo gave us the option of buying it without the nipple - which I feel is an awful pointing device (sorry, people who love it).


You know it has a track pad too right? And you can use a mouse and some of them even have touch screens.


Yes, I know, but I don't want a pointing device that is intermingled with my keyboard.


It can't be the only thing holding you back. You can just not use it if you don't like it.

Just seems like a weird complaint about otherwise excellent laptops.

I have an X1 Yoga and it's pretty good. A little awkward as a tablet, but I rarely use it that way, just as I rarely use the trackpoint.
