personally, having recently switched to one, the edges were a bother at first. but over the months grew to tolerate them just like callouses. opening the lid from the sides make me appreciate the need for a lip. however, i really hope they refine their approach for the rumored new model with better tooling and more comfortable.

Well, it's property of his workplace, and they're usually resold when the employee gets a new one. And it's not exactly mint any more, is it.
> they're usually resold when the employee gets a new one Are they? Everywhere I've worked they get shoved into a storage closet and ignored for another 5-7 years

The interesting part isn't whether Apple got the design right or wrong, it's that most of us never even consider altering the tools we use every day. We just adapt ourselves instead.
This is exactly why I run Linux instead of an OS that I'm not allowed to modify for my needs.

Or that it's a unix with taste that can render fonts correctly and has UI APIs that aren't absolute trash. I'm pretty sure Apple doesn't pay any "influencers", but maybe they're doing the Mormon church thing and buying ads?
> can render fonts correctly macOS font rendering has been worst in class since they removed subpixel-antialiasing. It's now a blurry mess on regular displays.
But imo the rendering is still pretty good. Unlike on linux where I constantly see incorrect kerning.

Fonts rendered correctly is kind of useless on a glary screen. > pretty sure Apple doesn't pay any "influencers" It's true they probably don't need to, since they have a bunch of fanatics who buy whatever Apple releases just because it's Apple
The takeaway from this article should be to consider modifying your tools to your needs even in unconventional and controversial ways. I love it. The flame war on whether the original chassis design sucks or rocks is not that interesting.

This made me smile because in my book this is at every effect impossible, especially if the goal is getting a functioning laptop at the end of the process. To be clear, it's impossible for me because I lack the knowledge, expertise and tooling to even think about doing it.
Nonsense, it just makes it more effort for you - nothing is impossible. Also, the way you acquire the knowledge, expertise and tooling is by screwing around with stuff where you have no idea what you’re doing.

There's a curve. Beginners with pristine gears are babying it, but veterans just don't bump their camera everywhere nor drop them, they have the bags that fit what they do, use straps (or not) that fit them and there's little to hurt their camera. Event photographers are another kind, camera throwing is part of the job. I wonder if you feel the same about cars, expecting expert chauffeurs to have bumps all over their…
I don’t think there’s a connection at all with chauffeurs.
I mean, it takes some effort to dent our current magnesium alloy bodies, you won't get scratches by laying it a bit fast on a counter table or hitting your bag's zipper.
