Anybody else disappointed by MB Air M4 (resp. M2, M3)?

Just transitioned from MB Air M1 to M4 and am disappointed daily.

-The speakers of the M1 where so impressive, you didn't need to connect a boombox to have decent sound for music. The M4 sounds rather flat and cheap - like a notebook.

-The trackpad feels less solid on the M4.

-Directly compared to the M1, the haptics of M4 feel like plastic (though still aluminum).

-Although the same macOS 26.1, I can't connect my old printer or my SC reader anymore.

If not for the Apple logo, the M4 could be any notebook by any other manufacturer out there.
