Apple should put more into keyboards than big ass trackpads have to agree with that, sad to see them leave the pro market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having massive key travel isn't a deal breaker and Im very much used to my G610 with MX Blue switches. I guess I can just adapt quickly to whatever I'm using. Same I'm fine using the 2016 keyboard I tried it in store but my friend isn't as adaptable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macbooks are great but for OP its not worth it, understand that most people can't spend that much on a stock laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after four years it better be more than a refresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she does want it to last thru high school. In the case a simple chromebook would do, longer battery life than any laptop and only around 300 dollars. Magical Pineapples
