My other gripes are things Apple's pretty committed to. My work laptop is a Macbook Pro, but my personal one is an X1 Carbon. When I was looking for a new laptop a year and a half ago, I thought about a Macbook Pro, but realized the non-removable HDD was a dealbreaker. I'm also not a fan of the aluminum body; the edges can be uncomfortable, and as Louis Rossmann (watch his Youtube channel before getting a Mac) points out, you actually want some flex in a computer frame, and you don't get it with an aluminum unibody.
