The newest generation of Apple keyboards has a bit more travel than the previous generation, but the laptops from 15 years ago are nicer. None of them come close to the glory of this keyboard though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_Portable

It is. Also really heavy because it used a lead acid battery. It was also wired in such a way that if the battery died it wouldn't turn on anymore unlike modern laptops that can run off the AC adapter directly. My parents threw theirs out because of that.
