I recently turned down a m1 mba for $1100 in favour of a 2015 mba for $500. The keyboard is so dramatically better in the 2015 model, I couldn’t believe it. The battery is great, seems to last about 10h in a charge while writing and browsing and using discord.

I don’t care how fast it is as long as it continues to have those mediocre low travel keyboards. They’re better than their worst keyboards from the 2018 era but they still aren’t good

Why not just buy a keyboard (that's better than any laptop keyboard)? There are many benefits.

I always consider the built-in keyboard as a sort of emergency/convenience tool.

I’d rather have a portable device that doesn’t need a separate keyboard
