Well when the internals don’t provide meaningful productivity differentiation for 90% of users for the last about 6-8 years now, and the MacBook Air design circa 2012 is virtually indestructible, how else are they going to get their users to upgrade machines every 2-3 years if not for shitty keyboard redesigns?

- mrgordon 8y agoYou can still get Apple to replace the battery right? Seems like a small issue if the rest of the computer works well.
- bitL 8y agoYou can get it replaced for like $200...
- zaroth 8y agoTakes about 10 minutes to replace. I’ve done it and it was surprisingly easy. There is no glue on my 2012 model. https://youtu.be/uOJKy7xVpIY?t=105 https://youtu.be/uOJKy7xVpIY?t=105
