I don't have much to complain about the usability of the software, but they are making hardware that should not be made.

I'm the unfortunate user of a MacBook Pro company laptop with 8GB RAM and just two USB-C ports.

This sort of hardware should not be made anymore. The memory is insufficient (my laptop is always paging) and the USB-C is forcing me to always carry a dongle, not to mention that just two is not enough considering that one of them is used for the power cable.

It really feels like the people who designed this laptop never actually had to use it.

I wish they would be forced to use it for a while to get a feeling of how crappy it is, so they stop making such terrible hardware anymore.



nobody that knows better is buying this spec hardware. it is made to satisfy purchasing departments. i’m sure it’s fine for word or google docs users that want to feel like they have an elite (“pro”) laptop so it also ticks that box.

rather than be upset that it is made, be upset that you had this spec hardware forced on you by your company policy.


> nobody that knows better is buying this spec hardware.

He literally showed you that some companies do buy that spec.
