>> nothing you could arguably call bad craftmanship in those machines
replymy 2 bad craftsmanship cents:
laptop keyboard leaves marks on screen. laptop's sharp edges leaves marks on wrists.
> laptop keyboard leaves marks on screen.
replyI don't think this has been a thing in years.
Sharp edges on wrists is true.
..from the company that brought you "You're holding it wrong", not just bad but dumb
replyIn addition to the sibling comment, I would point out the touch bar was poor craftsmanship and the butterfly keyboard was also poor craftsmanship. They both are addressed now, but there were several years where we had to live with them.
replyTheir software craftsmanship has really suffered in the last 10 years.
I mean, they're not bad, but they have spicy chargers, the corners are uncomfortably sharp, the keyboard often doesn't register, the LCD is prone to vertical bars and other issues even without physical damage and is extremely sensitive to bumps and other minor damage elsewhere on the laptop (not even the display itself), and so on.
replySome of these are consequences of what makes them feel "premium" or even "solid". Aluminum is a terrible material for bumps and drops because it dents, and that often damages the internal components.
replythey're very well designed and built products, craftmanship is something else.
