I really hope Apple goes back to the previous or updates the cheaper laptops. I have an XPS13 running OSX and it's much better to type on. Then I bust out my thinkpad and the display is garbage but man, it's like getting massaged while typing. Please update the Air or cheapest MBP to the old keyboard please.

They've got all kinds of crazy screen mods for thinkpads these days. I've got a 51nb 2k mod in my x230, which gives it a 2K IPS display.

That x230 is a tactile pleasure to do work on and I've got like 4 spares for backups since they can be had for so cheap these days.

I had the 1080p display and the pepe mod, but backed out and sold it since I didn’t think it would be worth it for my x230.

I think I might do the nitromod to one of my backups ones. The 2K display is bitch'n, but not always worth the reduction in battery run time.

I'd kill to get my hands on one of the fully custom 51NB X330 builds.

You don't have to kill, you can just buy one from many places such as http://www.cnmod.cn/x330/
