they still were the best machines imo. Have to give them some credit. build quality was always top notch and it was “just” the keyboard that ended up having too high failure rates, and very meh typing experience. it’s not like the machines were dumpster fires. I think we are too harsh sometimes. but yes obviously the keyboard sucked and i hated that part of the laptop. otherwise it was as good of a machine. great even. slimness is still nice in a laptop - it still performed as good as any other laptop I considered. 4x USBc was a great move too, especially charging from either side. So undoubtedly new ones are better. but we are overly harsh on that era and Ive. it’s not like he was the only one in on the keyboard decision either. Apple thought the keyboard was a competitive advantage at first!
