This. My wife's MacBook Air is slowly dying and we've been hoping for a 13" MacBook Air with Retina display but it never happened. We went and tried the new MacBook Pro with the touch pad and the 12" MacBook, but she just doesn't like the feel of the new keyboard. This truly disappointed her as she really liked how light her MB Air was and the battery life, but she just couldn't get around the feel of the new MacBook Pros' keyboard. When her laptop finally stops to function, we'll have to choose between a 2015 MacBook Pro 13" or a Windows laptop.

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but typing on it for 2mins in a store isn't going to convince you. I did that too and hated it. I later ended up getting one for work a year ago and in under a week I could barely type on my older personal MBP. The key travel is awesomely shallow and further reduces any wrist stress for me. My only complaint is when I'm typing very fast / forceful, it can be a bit clacky (I prefer my keyboard dead silent). I've since switched to a late 2016 MBP and think it's keyboard is even better, but it's only a mild difference compared to the big leap before.
