Trackpad issues among other things....
I agree. In fact, it's so annoying that I've been debating getting rid of my machine. I have been a loyal Mac user for 18 years now. This is the first time I've ever debated returning a machine because of a feature! I use photoshop all day and the canvas is constantly rotating and zooming with even the slightest misstep. It's extremely aggravating and anti-productive.
These new machines are neat, but I can't believe how many issues I run into with mine. And I'm talking about issues that Apple either overlooked or actually approved (i.e. the removal of Firewire 400 ports, stiff and noisy trackpad, unable to replace a single keyboard key without replacing the ENTIRE case, cheaper keys, no matte screen, loose screen hinge, blah, blah, blah, b*$tch, b$#itch, b$#tch).
I am currently in Oklahoma City for 5 days and last week I went to buy a Firewire 800 to 400 cable as well as a miniDisplay port to DVI adapter to plug in my Cinema Display. *Besides the Apple store, there is not a single store in the ENTIRE CITY that carries these cables. Because of this, even the overpriced Apple store's inventory was sold out. These laptops have been out for half a year now. If Apple is going to change their ports with every model and remove ports that are still common among most devices, they'd better make sure they've got the cables and adapters to support those ports. Currently I cannot access even ONE of my TWENTY FIVE firewire 400 drives and my Cinema Display is utterly useless.
*Correction, Best Buy carries a Dynex Firewire 800 to 400 adapter. It's $51.00. I guess I'll just spend the dog food money and he can eat dirt for a month.
