It was a general trend of the industry recently to put trash keyboards in all their laptops. I returned two laptops over it a few years ago, then got a lenovo because they were the only consistent choice at the time. That being said, they've gotten a little better, but I tried the apple keyboard recently and its atrocious in my opinion. Can't possibly be good for your fingers. I've never been a fan of Apple, but a few years ago if you asked me whether or not they were solid quality I would have said definitely. Not so much any more.
