The butterfly keyboard of that era was a large enough signal, to me, that high quality engineering results were compromised.

They produced a laptop that you can't type efficiently on?? That misses key strokes?! I had to slow my typing on those keyboards!

So, imagine the incredible contempt I have had for Apple for failing such a basic delivery. Still, their new silicon machines managed to turn my opinion around -- quite the 180. The speed improvement is genuinely remarkable, and the modern build quality otherwise seems excellent to me.

It's worth another try imo.
