>I don't hate it, but it's hard to believe my ancient personal box is about as capable Exactly my point. The funny thing is, I bought the 2012 model at half the price of the new models and I have 0 complaints about it. No fancy keyboard issue, no fancy thermal issue. Nothing. and to think that since then, they've made more problems than laptops! They really don't make them like they used to. I just want a better battery backup that's it. I get 6-8hrs because I did a lot of research about how Li batteries drain (it is best if you do not let it drain below 50% because Li batteries' lifecycle depends on the high-low charge discharge cycles so if you keep discharging battery to 0% then you're scrwed in a few years) I'll buy the 2012 model again, if this one dies out, but won't ever buy the latest models.
