This is mostly due to the keyboard still being part of the chassis. If the keyboard fails, everything needs to be dismantled, and most of the laptop case needs to be replaced. It sounds like the new keyboard is more reliable, but IMO this is an unacceptably bad design. I say that as a person who really likes the "feel" of the new keys, incidentally. I've been harping on about this for years now: If it's true that Apple sees Macs as "like trucks" (and thus iOS devices as the cars that most people need), they need to make Macs… like trucks! [edit] these "pull-able glue strips" are a big step back in the right direction, at least
