It's easy to be stable when you can't run software

A lot of Apple fans say this, but I find many components in Apple products in general to be of average to poor build quality. Keyboards, display hinges, CPU/GPU cooling, weak display bezel/frames, weak outer-frames on their phones, laptop case creaking, etc. Heck they have yet to figure out how to design cables that don't fray. I'm sure there are some nice aspects to owning a mac too, otherwise nobody would purchase them. But I have yet to find anything that they've done w.r.t good build quality. I do admit they have a very good handle on making their products look pretty. So there's that..

> good trackpad

Granted. Except it's useless from my perspective because:

* keyboard-centric tiling workflow + mouse

- is faster than-

* a standard K&M stacked windows workflow

- is mostly faster than-

* keyboard-centric tiling workflow + any trackpad

- is faster than -

* the standard macOS experience with a trackpad

It's an exercise in frustration whenever I have to get help from or help out a peer which uses a touchpad for everything (Mac user or otherwise, but more common in Mac users precisely because of its good trackpad) because it makes every operation slow as molasses. And if you care about a responsive desktop, the trackpad is mostly irrelevant because you'll be using a tiling setup which relies on a keyboard and simple mouse/trackpad usage.

> build quality

A computer that throttles at max frequency does not have good build quality. A computer with a keyboard that falls apart with specks of dust does not have good build quality.

Macs have great screens and are slim, but they're far from the only ones with those qualities.

> stability

Except this is a meme. macOS stability is an absolute gamble like all other OSes, it will depend on your configuration macOS will behave or not, as is the case for both Windows and Linux. And macOS releases are known to be stability shitshows, Catalina being a big example and now Big Sur not being able to start applications because an Apple server is unresponsive.
