No amount of tweaking that apple does is gonna truly fix the butterfly keyboards. Its a flawed design. Even when it works it does not feel nice to type on and causes fatigue on the fingers as its not adequately cushioned when pressing down on keys. Whats more frustrating is that even after they realized how flawed these keyboards are they continued to roll them out to new products like the new Macbook Air. They need to seriously consider going for a thicker design for their "pro" laptops. They already offer a thin and ultralight laptop. They've made far too many compromises with the 2016 macbook pro redesign that aren't just limited to the keyboard. Repair-ability took a huge hit, the CPUs thermal throttle when doing anything taxing on the CPU or GPU. This is a huge issue for something they advertise as great for video editing. Exporting a video of any decent length will quickly cause the CPU to thermal throttle. They also need to seriously consider putting in some decent GPUs. The top of the line ones they put in barely compete with the gtx 1050. The competion has 1060s, 1070s, 1080s, and even rtx2080s which all run circles around the amd gpus they are using. We're talking 2-8 times faster in many cases depending on exactly which gpu they are using. I think its time that Jony Ive retires as he clearly has lost sight of what benefits the customer. This was totally apparent with the 2013 Mac Pro redesign which was completely inappropriate for what the intended market needed. A Mid Size standard tower that was a more reasonable size than the classic Mac Pro would have sold like hot cakes to the pro market. Instead many studios moved on to alternatives like HP and Dell workstations. I suspect they are gonna try to reinvent the wheel again with this new modular Mac Pro as well and we'll end up with a bunch of compromises that have pretty much no benefit to the consumer and only feed Jony's ego of making 'sleek' products. I genuinely feel bad for professionals that are locked into the Mac ecosystem as the hardware leaves a lot to be desired.
