Why I'm officially quitting Apple Laptops

I had been waiting for the new MBP, and when Apple released the 2016 touchbar models I went and bought the 2015 15&#x27;&#x27; model.<p>I used the 2015 for a year before selling it because the Intel GPU was seriously underpowered and the 4th gen CPU ran too hot which made the fans annoyingly audible too often.<p>So since I din&#x27;t need the portability I ended up getting a 5K iMac, which is quite frankly the best Mac I&#x27;ve ever owned. I still use a 2014 13&#x27;&#x27; MBP that I had lying around on the rare times I travel or work away from home.<p>I hope Apple knows all the problems with the current laptop line, but if they don&#x27;t do something quick they will end up losing a lot of audience. Unless something drastic happens my next laptop won&#x27;t be an Apple one.

Yeah, me too. Mostly it&#x27;s the keyboard and execrable touchbar. But also, just the general decline in quality of Apple software and design.<p>Got a System76 Darter. Very happy with it. Great keyboard.<p>By the way, the dude in that video is really irritating to listen to and watch. What is up with his hands?

Why does Apple keep trying to patch up the butterfly? When will they accept that the technology is a failure?
