So eight years after the first retina MBP there's finally a good retina MBA.

I'm not sure why Apple gets all this credit for making a reliable keyboard, something the rest of the industry figured out decades ago.

Seriously.

Wondering if I should get one of these to replace my 2015 13" rMBP, which, as of late, has pretty poor battery life and degraded performance. Wouldn't mind something a bit more portable. Or, if the obvious move is a new iPad Pro.

Because they’re usually making it a fraction of the size / depth of most of the rest of the industry.

the 2020 mbp 14 inch should be just around the corner. I just replaced the battery in my 2013 mbp

Just before they abandon all the Intel crap and switch to ARM.

The rest of the industry…? At work we have lots of Lenovo and HP laptops and those keyboards are, IMO, clearly inferior to my MBA 2012.

Compare the same price MacBook for the same price Lenovo, and you will see how the rest of the industry has clearly figured it out. Not shilling for Lenovo, but yeah, there's nothing special about it.
