I used a 2018 MacBook Pro for work for a time and soon got used to the shallower key presses. That’s not the main problem for me, though.

Apple has always made fantastic keyboards, but these days going from a mech to a Mac is like being under house arrest - there’s just no travel. I’m a denizen of both the Microsoft and Apple worlds, and use a nice chunky mechanical keyboard with my Windows PC. That keyboard is certainly a sticking point, as it were. Well, that seems like a good place to start. Why opt for a four-year-old MacBook Pro instead of the latest and greatest model from just a few months ago? After all, this year’s model comes with a keyboard that’s even less likely to fail and ignore your key presses. In fact, I didn’t so much ignore it as turn around and high-tail it in the opposite direction. So when the time rolled around for me to kit myself out with a shiny new MacBook, you would think I headed straight for the 2019 MacBook Pro and paid like it was going out of fashion. There’s enough innovation in both software and hardware to impress even the most curmudgeonly of cynics. Fitbit Versa 3Īpple does innovate, of course, and the latest MacBook Pro models - with monstrous eight-core i9 processors and Touch Bars aplenty - are no exception.
