It's the desktop a lot of us having been waiting for... no built in screen, no forced purchase of hundreds of dollars in "magic (i.e. garbage) keyboard/mouse), and ports out the wazoo... even the base model I have has 4x Thunderbolt 4, 4x USB 3 (two Type C on the front, 2 Type A on the back), 10Gb eth, even a headphone jack and SD slot.

Interesting comment about the Apple keyboard. I have bought Apple Magic keyboards for all my Windows machines. Need a correct driver to make the fn key work and remap the delete key, but otherwise I have not yet found a better TKL keyboard.

Hotswap mechanical or nothing for me. I hate low travel keys (and flat keycaps).

I actually just bought this last week for the work machine..

Not as good as the board on my personal PC, but that is a highly tweaked out, kit built, full metal gasket mount board that I have mumble hundreds of dollars in to...

People are different. I grew up with clunky and noisy IBM keyboards. Really love the low key travel.

Model Ms are terrible. A nice modern mechanical with light linear switches is neither.

I buy mechanical keyboards for all my macs and skip the flat feel of the chiclet keyboards. It is too bad that such an experience can’t be very portable.

I used to like apple keyboards but I got RSI using them. I was probably holding it wrong but switching to mechanical keyboards fixed it for me.
