Charting its own course, as usual, Apple made some big changes on its 2016 MacBook Pro lineup. Not only did the company reduce the thickness to levels once found on the MacBook Air, it also introduced a thin OLED strip dubbed ‘TouchBar’ and a brand new keyboard design. The remarkable decrease in thickness didn’t come for free. To achieve it, Cupertino was forced to remove all ports from the notebooks and dub the move as ‘forward-looking’, citing USB-C as the emerging standard.

As usual, Apple’s hurry to jump ahead of the competition drew ire from users. The most significant and widespread came due to malfunctioning keyboards. The Butterfly switches on the MacBook Pro are designed to operate in a small area. This results in dust and other debris getting stuck under them and rendering keys useless. As it’s evident, where Apple gives with one hand, it takes away with the other.
