If you fix the keyboard, I'll buy a new MBP. If you don't fix it, I won't. I have zero interest in any other changes.

Apparantly these have their new "3rd Generation" butterfly keyboard, whatever that means.

They updated the keyboard (Yay!) but max RAM for the 13" models is still 16GB (Boo!)

Did you... read the link... at all?

Right at the very top of the article:

If only they might restore the escape key in the 15 inch model...

Ars said they didn't know the status of a 15-inch without Touch Bar. I take it we'll never see a 15-inch without it?

32gb MAX ram is a nice change, and the true-tone display is a positive. Really wish Apple were in the nVidia camp instead of the ATI camp.

Only 13" is limited to 16GB. 15" moved to DDR4 and 32GB max.

I wonder how's the battery life with an i9.
