Such nonsense.

Please show me a laptop with the same quality trackpad and an operating system that works as well with my iOS devices e.g. AirDrop, Continuity, iCloud Notes, Photos, Keychain. And of course one that has perfect driver support and supports apps like Pixelmator and Omnigraffle.

I've used MBPs daily for the last few years and occasionally have issues when hotplugging external (Apple) displays. Nothing has perfect driver support.

Your requirements sound like those rigged bids in corrupted countries where the bid book conditions are like "car length to be between 2531 mm and 2533 mm" and "car weight between 1203 kg and 1205 kg"

Yes people have different requirements from a laptop and blanket statements like "Macs are bad, use X" don't really apply to everyone.

You really think everyone in the world could care less about a hardware Escape key like you would think if you just read HN.

Basically any better specced laptop that is hackintoshed.

This is not a serious option.

I've tried it and it's very difficult to get everything to work in particular iCloud and Messages.

Take a laptop with a good trackpad and install macOS on it?

I'd rather run Windows on the MBP than the other way around.

To be clear, I prefer macOS, just talking about build quality here.
