When the 'fisher price' laptop is light years better battery, better trackpad, better power management, better build quality, better screen than the $2k+ PC laptop competitors, what does that say about the state of PC laptops?
No touch screen, makes Mac productivity 4/10 at best. Whilst it might look good I'll take the extra functionality of touch and pen input on a screen that looks good over a screen that looks barely noticeably better but lacks this function any day.
Touch screen on a laptop increases my productivity 0%. It just makes my arms hurt and decreases my accuracy.
Yeah I was like that a few years back. Now I flip laptop screen over on its back like a giant tablet. Use it for signing docs, drawing rough interface plans & ideas, sketching out flow charts, producing diagrams, brainstorming with clients or co-workers, demo'ing or testing handheld tablet/phone apps with a interface closer to what they will use themselves, reading books & docs and so on. Probably only about 5% of work time if even that, but hell I hate laptops without it these days. The ability to do these things makes work a far more enjoyable experience. I like the added freedom of a laptop that doubles as a giant tablet with enough actual grunt to get stuff done.
I’ve got an iPad for that.
And all the detritus doesn’t fall out of the keyboard down my trousers.
its great for creatives

All the creatives I know use macs and iPads.
Incidentally I’ve got an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil and use that for digital art and photography.
