This kind of stinks, but it's good to see Apple doing right by its customers. Telling them something will come that won't isn't right. And if they simply can't deliver a product, then they shouldn't make a half-baked attempt.
They've recently caught flack for the problems with their keyboard, which is a hard thing to get right. This time, they chose not to deliver a marked-up, fiddly, overheating mess to their users, and we ought to credit them for it.
It takes a lot of guts to admit you can't do something; a little more corporate humility might just be a good thing.
- trimbo 8y ago> problems with their keyboard, which is a hard thing to get right Not sure what you mean here. They got the old keyboard right, and made it worse!
- mises 8y agoWhether or not you agree with the direction in which they are taking their product, making a keyboard so thin that types as well as it does is quite difficult. The problem they have is literally because of stray dust specks.
- sofaofthedamned 8y agoSo test it, and if it doesn't work then don't sell it? As opposed to users of the last 3 years of Macs being beta testers for their current flavour of stupid keyboard of the month?
- mises 8y agoYes, pretty much exactly as opposed to that. That's why I'm giving them credit for it; maybe they've realized their users want a really high-quality product. This might even indicate that they're going to actually get the next macbook keyboard right (though that's still unlikely).
- drexlspivey 8y agoThe old keyboard doesn't fit in their new thinner chassis
- what_ever 8y agoI suppose actually typing on a laptop is more important than it being thin.
