So guys and girls I got a brand new MacBook Pro with TouchBar yesterday. 15", 3.1Ghz, 1TB SSD. Very powerful machine.
I fucking hate it. Just boxed it up and it is going back to Apple. How the fuck can Apple sell a "pro" machine with a fucking BlackBerry keyboard? Also macOS High Sierra is just crap. Resizing windows is juddery, it has no options for auto sizing windows, etc. it isn't awful but it is pretty fucking crap.
So yeah I bought a Mac and returned it all within 24 hours.

hey fuck you my passport has a better keyboard than that mess
OP, why did you purchase a MacBook Pro in the first place?

Magnet from the app store
Don't tell me you thought all that Apple shilling was for real.
Should be baked in by default
Yeah it kinda sucks ass. Using a new 2017 one myself for iOS development. Battery life is great when you don't use it to surf the Internet, Xcode is very fast and light but as an IDE it ranges from "sometimes decent" (like the layout debug thingy) to terribad (like pretty much everything else).
Aside from these, common performance hiccups, useless notifications, omnipresent Siri, "touchbar", shitty keyboard, absolutely generic trackpad, no ports, unimpressive display (which is supposedly like half of its price), heat enough to fry eggs when put under somewhat heavy load, and the usual thing about MacOS being GUI mess not designed for people to be efficient. High Sierra got the "lock" feature, so that's nice.
That being said, is right. Buying MacBook Pro without a solid reason kind of autistic. Macs are either for people who "have" to use Macs for some specific reason (like me currently), for people who simply like MacOS or at least have an Apple ecosystem, or for people who don't need basically anything from their OS and are fine with it being an overpriced Facebook machine. Somewhat luxurious, I'll give it that.

Most people don't want it. Only ex Windows 10 users want it.

Apple. Not even once. Although he still has an iPhone because of how deeply entrenched in iCloud and iTunes he is.
Kek
A variation I haven't seen yet.
How will mactoddlers ever recover?

Maybe your problem was that you didn't even give it more than 24 fucking hours of use.
You should've at least walked into an Apple store to try one out before blindly spending thousands on it. This is your fault entirely.
