#12Apple has gone 5150 Over the last 6 years. Disconnect from reality is an understatement.

I didn’t like it first. Then I became ok with it.
But it’s so so so infuriatingly shoddy. Cmd fell out on my previous laptop. On my current one most of the keys feel wobbly. Coupled with accidental brushes againt touchbar and the unnecessarily enlarged touchpad frequently failing at palm rejection this ends up being a very subpar experience compared to earlier models.

#14> “So, just curious, why did you buy another one?” she asked, referring to the 2018 MacBook Air I’d gotten six months after selling the Pro.
I was hoping she talked more about this part, but brushing it aside by bringing up "Apple ecosystem" is pretty unsatisfactory. It does tell you, though, that Apple has its target demographic by the balls, and broken keyboards are certainly not chasing them away.
Macbooks will get fixed the day tech journalists start writing articles about how they tried a Windows laptop and liked it.

I love it. I recently had to temporarily go back to a 2014 MacBook and it just felt mushy and imprecise. The new keyboards feel sharp and way more precise. Just simply better.

#16P.T. Barnum (possibly) said it best: "There's a sucker born every minute." There are a lot of suckers out there with MacBooks.

#17“seven elements that every keyboard needs to create a great typing experience.” I have a hard time imagining what those seven elements are, because I get stuck at two: 1. Produces the characters 2. That I intended to type. These two attributes are also, incidentally, what the biggest and most-valuable tech companies in the world are somehow grappling with anew. Oh come on. Having a keyboard that causes as little fati…
She was being sarcastic. She wasn't saying that nothing else matters, she was saying that nothing else matters if it fails at being a functional keyboard.

#18I updated my work laptop last year to the 2017 model and I immediately determined that I would wait for a better keyboard design before updating my personal laptop. Preferably one without the touchbar, or at the very least with a physical escape key.

I love them. The newer keyboards have a very satisfying clickiness to them. I guess I'm lucky to have a 2018 model that's not had keystroke issues however

#20May be the only one that thinks this but changing up the keyboard so much on all devices has ruined me on all of them. The old MBP feels weird now I’m used to the new one and old PC keyboards feel weird too, the ChromeBook keyboard feels weird, etc..Hmm how about velvet that smells like lavender wouldn’t that be nice?
