How are the modern keyboards?

(I got a Dell Latitude last time and will probably buy another one next year. Good for Linux, lots of ports, ok screen, not so expensive and sturdy. But an ugly plastic box that is not so well designed. The touch pad sucks compared to Apple's, etc. The deciding factor was that I need apt and had problems with the package managers before on MacOS.)

You should go to a Microsoft Store and an Apple Store and try a large variety of laptop keyboards. Someone isn’t going to be able to intuit your preferences via text conversation.

Great advice. Also, stores like BestBuy and Walmart often have a wide range of laptops on display to try.
