Very true. This is one reason I’ve stopped paying for it and I know a lot of people who have walked away from their products in the last few years. They’re too expensive and we have higher priority things we need to spend money on.
Also we’ve reached a plateau of innovation. Things were just about right circa 2011/2012. Everything else since has been quality, privacy or usability regressions disguised as innovation.
I buy stuff now because it needs replacing due to being worn out not because it gives me an advantage.
- kickopotomus 8y agoThis is how I feel as well. I loved my 2012 MBP but it’s about time for an update. However, I don’t like any of the new laptops. I don’t understand why they had to screw with the keyboard so much. It is the worst thing that I have ever tried to type on. If they just upgraded the internals of the 2012 MBP but left the ports/aesthetics the same, I would buy it.
- AnthonBerg 8y agoConversely I love the new keyboards. It's fascinating how different people's experience is. May I ask you to describe your feeling? As a guess, does it feel ambiguous or inaccurate how short the keys are?
- kickopotomus 8y agoI suppose I am just used to a deeper keypress. I tried typing on one for about 10-15 minutes in the store and I just kept mistyping almost every third word. It's difficult to describe. I guess my fingers are used to needing to move further to successfully press the keys so they just overcompensate for the smaller range of motion. Perhaps I could get used to it after awhile but I would rather not have to relearn how to use a keyboard when it is so different from the ones I use for my desktop and work machine.
