I just bought my first MacBook. I've only ever had Windows laptops, but my cheap Ideapad just started to fall apart on me, so I went with a MacBook Neo since I trust Apple's hardware engineering. I am now getting used to posting on a Mac. There's some things that are different, but really I just needed a laptop for shitposting and watching YouTube so it will do nicely I think.

I've always used iPhones and I have no issues. And I don't think parts of this MacBook will literally detach from the other parts. I miss right-clicking though.

Those things are unnecessarily knotted easily broken messes. Not falling apart is hardly a signifier of quality.

I thought about getting one, but I decided against it. My shit linux laptop still works just fine for shitposting.

just use two fingers on the trackpad or hold the control key
that last one is a leftover quirk from the time that macs came with mice that only had one button

I use a regular Logitech mouse with my macbook.

Bad idea. It's basically Apple's version of a Chromebook. Should've gotten an Air at least.

>inb4 "its actually quite usable"
I'm talking about how it will age. I know it's fine for right now, but it won't be in 5 years.

Macbooks are pretty sexy tbqh. I had one for like a week before I spilled water on it and returned it to Amazon kek. Enjoy it man

Why is that though? Why wouldnt they be fine in 5 yrs

Generally with computers that aren't modular/upgradeable, you want to buy something that is a bit more powerful than what you'd actually need right now so that the system is still sufficient in the future.
8GB RAM is already pushing the bare minimum for basic computing tasks and likely won't be very good in the near future. 256GB internal storage is also pretty bad for a computer whose storage can't be expanded. Honestly I wouldn't settle for 512GB either if I intend to keep the computer for the next decade to 15 years. The Neo is clearly for like children and teens.

Steve Jobs had strong opinions about this. He was strongly against right-clicking. TOO COMPLEX. Ruining the user's experience.

Another Steve Jobs revolution is the vitual keyboard. Nobody believed it would win. All handheld computers has a small keyboard.
Now, you can buy a USB keyboard when you're sick of the tiny virtual keyboard. But before, it was integrated.
