I have an M1 Macbook and can't bring myself to switch to the Framework I recently bought.
The trackpad is awful compared to the Macbook's. I keep zooming things that I'm trying to scroll. And the click is the kind where it's hinged at the top so you have to click at the bottom rather than anywhere. I tried switching to taps but those are far too sensitive and have no tactile feedback. And when I boot into Linux it's even worse, failing to interpret two finger scroll actions at all unless my fingers are perfectly aligned.
The screen is also... off. I was able to calibrate it with a colorimeter to look close to my Macbook, but it's still not quite right. It seems like the bright parts are a bit too bright for some reason which ends up being distracting.
Yeah, I think a lot of other touchpads are working around the Apple design patents on their touchpad. The software integration and gestures also tend to be better. Doesn't annoy me too much.
Similar for the screen(s)... I mean, I have calibrated displays on my work and personal desks, and usually work docked, so my laptop use is generally casual content, email, forums, etc when traveling a few times a year.
The touchpad and screen has pretty much been the main two reasons I have been on mac laptops since 2010 or so. I'm just tired of the Windows and Apple games regarding locking things down, and would just prefer to have a Linux environment everywhere. The few key binding differences on Mac throw me off to this day, and I'm kind of over it all.
