What does "stable" mean?
Keys don't stop working because of dust anymore..?

They mean the entire keys descends evenly even if you press the key near the edge, see: https://youtu.be/afNHG3jyPU4?t=265

That's what I thought.
The keyboard on my old 2016 MBP stopped functioning after 3 months: repeated characters, missing characters.
Who cares about stability!? Those keyboards don't work as keyboards!

Having recently been switched from a 2013 MBP to 2018 MBP -- the older keycaps could wiggle a little bit if you rested your fingers on them. The new keys don't exhibit this behavior, but don't feel as nice to type on.

They are talking about the 1st gen butterfly problems. 2013 was pre-butterfly.

I think it's a non-problem.
The new keyboards cease functioning with dust particles.

Any idea why the processor is only 1.5? I have a 2011 Model with 1.8ghz

Does your 2011 model have 3 Ghz turbo boost? That's just how modern processors work - lower clocks but still higher performance.
I'm still limping along on a 2012 Air. This could finally be the upgrade.
