The lack of an esc key was already a deal-killer, but my current MBP will be my last. Apple seems to have stopped giving any shits *at all* about pro users/developers:https://www.pcmag.com/news/362580/core-i9-macbook-pro-cooling-problems-kill-performance …

You understate the problem. The faux esc key is no good for programmers, but the touch bar, keyboard, and lack of legacy USB-A ports is no good for *every* user. But IMO Apple still leads with chassis, touch pad, OS sleep/wake, screen, durability, so not an easy choice.

Touchpads have gotten better everywhere; chassis *could* be an asset but last 3 gens have screwed it up (kbd/battery fusing, poor thermals, etc.).

Which Windows laptops match it? I haven’t found one yet. Not even close, though Chrome OS Pixel models are pretty good. (Nobody else supports Mac’s immensely useful 3-finger drag option.)

I'm going to the pixel; don't use 3-finger drag. Also excited to be moving to an OS that really takes security seriously.

I would instabuy a bigger & more powerful Pixelbook. The current gen is definitely usable though.
