My 2017 MBP is not the best Apple laptop I've ever had

My 2017 MBP is the fastest ... with the best screen ... it's awesome. But when I really think about it, the titanium powerbook was the best for it's time. I couldn't wait to get it (almost 20 years ago) ... and it's still the coolest tech I've owned (for its time). Here's a video I made about my favorite apple laptop

2017 macbook pro is the first apple laptop ive ever owned and trust me ts really nice and all but i feel frustrated having to constantly ensure my hands are clean etc before using the device.. too much precautions
 
I had the TiBook too, and I have to disagree. The plastic bit around the SuperDrive opening never sat quite right on mine, creating a bit of an opening between the plastic and the metal bottom casing. The keyboard, while good for the time, was very bouncy/spongy. The hinge assembly started to give way after a couple of years, and even when new didn't hold the screen as solidly in place as today's design. Compared to today's uni-body designs it feels like a big step back.

Yes ... the other one worked for me because I was logged in to YouTube creators page so when I clicked on it it worked fine .... then I tried it a little later when i was logged out and realized the problem.

Even the 2003 Al PBG4 was a huge step up in case stability compared to my TiPBG4 (my first Apple computer). Frigging TiPB HDD ate itself while refreshing Internet Explorer during MWNY 2001 which was being broadcast on G4 TV. Apple ended up replacing both the HDD and the CDROM drive.
