>the butterfly days I skipped that entire generation, but the modern silicon keyboards are slick. My workshop computer is a 2012 MacBook "Pro" (disabled GPU), which also has fantastic keys. Best Apple keyboard ever has to be the 12" PowerBook G4, but that may just be nostalgic... ---- My major critique of the Neo is: for its intended market (younger), it should be more durable, not less — why is there no MagSafe power connector? From a computer repair technician's POV, there will be lot$ of U$B port replacement$, due to power supply abusers (have you seen some students' charging cables?!). From manufacturer's POV: if they had MagSafe, they probably wouldn't need separate USB ports (IMHO). It's almost guaranteed that the second revision of this product line will use MagSafe (you own the patent already!).
