No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple’s anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can’t even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don’t even own it.
kinda sucks that no one makes hardware as good as Apple. with other laptops, there’s always some sort of compromise. I have a ThinkPad and the keyboard is great, the screen is great, but the speakers are complete dogshit and the trackpad isn’t all that good.
They don’t do macOS. That’s an Apple issue.

I have a Framework, and I love it. The trackpad isn’t as good as a MacBook’s.
You have the glasstop trackpad? They’re relatively cheap and simple to install if not…
I do, it’s fine at best. doesn’t really come anywhere close to the Apple trackpads.
Yeah nah. There are more reasons why Apple TrackPads are great not just glass.
Have a look at the Sensel haptic touchpad used in the X1 Titanium Yoga. It’s a touchpad that’s actually better than Apple’s. It’s a shame it only got used in like 2 devices so far.
