Biggest gripe about MacBooks

This will sound trivial to some but I have to read a lot of documents in pdf or word. A lot. I probably don't need to save over half of them.
Nice thing about windows is when I download it, it gives me the option of opening it or saving it. The Mac only saves it. Then I have to open it, then if I don't need it, go delete it and all that jazz. Wish Apple would copy it.

I just got mine, and my biggest gripe is that it’s really heavy and I really miss the touchbar. …first world problems.
…and the airport is no longer compatible.

I don't mind the weight. For starters, I'm not a sissy who can't handle a few extra grams. Second. it feels well built. Can't stand something that feels flimsy.
I should have clarified. Yes, if I am say in Pacer or another online court system, the pdf will open in the browser. But there are plenty of websites where the document does not open in the browser so I have to download. Same for email attachments.

So, this isn't a MacOS specific problem, is what I'm hearing.

I think you can force that in the website css unfortunately.

actually it is. Windows pcs just give you all three options: Open in browser, open in adobe or word, and save to file. Apple gives one. Have to save then reopen. Then delete when you realize you don't need it. Extra steps.
