What commenters say

  • The decision to prioritize thinness over usability in previous MacBook designs was a mistake, and the new design is a step in the right direction.
  • Some users prefer the older scissor keyboard mechanism and are glad to see its return, while others have grown accustomed to the butterfly keyboard.
