mac books, which are trash for poor people, actually have the speaker grills on the top which allows them to collect dust and other things. in some mac books these holes are also functional, on others they are not. this is because apple is too cheap to design multiple laptops

there are no speaker grills on my early 2015 macbook pro running macos 10.12.1, the best and most advanced operating system ever created, driving dual 3840 x 2160 monitors at 60 fps with beautiful retina scaling

every 15" macbook ever made has "fake" speaker grill holes. if they only had holes where the speakers actually are, they would look like poo poo

I'm on the subway - some poor lady had her iPhone 7 headphone dongle slip out of her pocket when she stood up to leave. The dongle lies inert on the bench. The woman will need to purchase a new dongle if she wants to listen to music. The iPhone 7 is fundamentally a bad phone.

is there a downside to the big trackpad other than maybe some palm rejection issues, or does it just look comical?
