> Keyboard ergonomics and feel is dependent on many factors, but it is a promising sign that Apple is reverting to the same key switch mechanism used in every MacBook before 2015, which was widely praised.

If Apple builds an MBPr with the 2015 keyboard with newer materials and calls this a new and improved keyboard. They will have a purchase from me.

I will also hope that it's essentially a 2015 chassis and comes with magsafe and an improved cord so it doesn't wear out as quick. With the extra thickness they shouldn't have the screen issues with the cord wearing out either, solving that problem as well.

The only two wishes that I have are a micro-oled screen and arm processor. Maybe in 2022 I get delivered these, but I can wait.

edit: i meant micro-oled, not mini

Isn't the touchbar what you're asking for? Mini-oled screen and arm processor. Unless it was ironic and I am oblivious.

I think they mean MicroLED rather than mini oled. MicroLEDs are meant to look and act the same as oleds but since they’re non organic, which means they don’t burn out like oleds do.
