Apple may switch butterfly keyboard for scissor version in MacBook Air
I've wanted a MacBook as a travel machine since it arrived in 2015 but I wasn't a fan of the keyboard so held off. My Early 2011 15" MacBook Pro failed and so I ended up buying a new one in 2017 with the butterfly keyboard. The primary way we interact with our laptops is through the screen, while the keyboard is the primary way we interact with our laptop by touch. I've tried to get used to the butterfly keys, really really tried and yet it just doesn't work for me. I find it to be a horrible typing experience so my very expensive, beautiful, powerful MacBook Pro now sits in a cradle in my office connected to a giant monitor and an apple chiclet keyboard so that I can at least love it when I'm sitting at my desk at home... which never happens these days.
When I travel, I find my self taking my Surface Pro, it has a nice primary interaction (screen) and a decent primary touch (keyboard) but the rest is not that great in my opinion. However, it'll do for travel. I'd much rather be toting a beautiful, powerful, Macintosh portable that I can love. I want it to be like the old days when it thrilled the senses, including touch. The screens are amazing, the sound experience is impressive, Macs even have a certain smell to them! A different keyboard will make them feel amazing. I'm not licking my laptop but hitting the other three will make it delicious indeed.
Apple, please bring back an option for the chiclet keyboard or an alternative to the current Butterly keyboard.
