Don’t get me wrong, I would rather go back to DOS on an old Tandy luggable than buy something else (with Vista installed<gulp>) but there are several things about my Macbook Pro that really wind me up. So read on for just wee bit of Apple bashing to spice up your day.
It is no secret that the Macbook Pro is usually the gold standard for most laptop junkies but what many sometimes overlook are a whole bunch of annoyances that for some users can make the Macbook Pro a less-than worthy notebook. The gripes below are only those that really get under MY skin so feel free to add your own in the comments!
