Although not everyone enjoys the low travel distance of the MacBook’s keys, it never posed a major issue for me. I have noticed, however, that some of the keys can get stuck as if infested with crumbs.<\/p>\n

Jordan talked about the issues with USB-C<\/a> in a prior post, and I can vouch for the fact that many of the USB-C peripherals that you’ll encounter can be finicky. I’ve experienced issues with devices abruptly disconnecting, devices that aren’t recognized without a reboot, and other annoyances.<\/p>\n

Having a single USB-C port does occasionally present a problem, but that doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the wishy-washy interaction with some of my USB-C peripherals.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’ve had no keyboard issues, but fully concur on USB-C.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

I bought the machine because I rarely use peripherals but have experienced USB disconnects with the battery I own.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But that is an exception. Since I don’t need max performance or use lots of peripherals, overall I love this MacBook.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

At the end of the day, I don’t think I am going back to my Mac. The ASUS [Chromebook] is super performant […] The biggest differences for me have been that there is never is a load time or memory running out.<\/p><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
