I've recently started using a macbook pro and everything about it is bad.The keys are positioned in a stupid way on the laptop. That is, a slab of plastic with thin keys in the middle. So your wrists have to always be at attention, angled down, and feeling for the right spot.The OS looks like it was designed in the 90's.
