I wander if the new keyboard design with plastic rather than aluminium between the keys will also make it easer to replace it too, it almost looks like the module that could be swapped. I'm sure we will find out from iFixit soon!

I suppose it also means that the top case is no longer tied to different keyword layouts, fewer SKUs. That will have helped cut costs!
