I've been using Apple's new MacBook Pro for two days, and so far the most noticeable change is the keyboard.
The 2018 MacBook Pro (https://mashable.com/2018/07/12/apple-macbook-pro-2018/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) is the first laptop from Apple to brandish the third generation of the company's "butterfly" keyboard design that replaced the chiclet-style keyboards of the silver MacBooks that came before (https://mashable.com/2013/11/11/15-inch-mabook-pro-retina-review/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial).

A new layer of silicone appears to both act as a cushion the keys as well as protect them from dust and other particles. That could in turn improve the reliability of the keyboards, which has been a source of major concern (https://theoutline.com/post/2402/the-new-macbook-keyboard-is-ruining-my-life?zd=1&zi=yerlfemt). Apple is facing multiple lawsuits over the issue, and this upgrade could in fact be a "secret" way to address it while not admitting there was a problem in the first place. Read more...
