Agreed. The 13” Pro is one of Apple’s best sellers. Other OEMs like HP and Dell target the Ice Lake PCs mostly to enterprise.
Apple has a trade in program:

TIL; thanks.
Fair. I'd happily settle for a much better webcam, however.
Too reliable. Too much pleasing key travel and tactile feedback.
It will cost you two kidneys..
If you are serious with your mobile editing workstation I suggest go for PC gaming laptop. latest desktop grade rtx 2070 gpu, 32gb ram , 1 tb nvme ssd and it only cost me 1 kidney. however you will have to carry a huge 230 watts power brick because lets admit it if you want power performance then it needs a lot of raw power to drive it

Primarily stability. They wobble when pressed on the side of the key. The butterfly switch gives a nice, consistent click no matter where your finger lands on the key. Go to 4:35 of this video for Apple’s explanation:
Nice click. And sometimes the key press even registers. Sometimes even twice.
Certainly a lot of innovation in the MacBook. I’m not convinced that key wobble was the driving factor in the design of the keyboard though. They wanted a thin keyboard to make the MacBook thinner than the air with a view of it being the laptop of choice for those who need portability above all else. I think the iPad has become that device now. Almost expect them to release an iPad with the same keyboard and touch pad and call it MacBook 2.

MacBook Pro xdr for the win 😉
I wouldn't get too hung up on 10th gen anyway as it's still going to be 14nm for H series (11th gen is very likely to as well, comet lake and rocket lake respectively).
The picture is of a 13inch MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air so not sure we should place too much stock in that image. In fact in the amazon link there is a picture saying it is only comparable with the air lol
Yup, they added it in 2018
If they do that, don’t expect the option to be below $1k.
The fact that we're looking to have to spend north of $2500 USD in order to get a keyboard that works in a macbook after 4-5 years, is a disgrace.
Where's the working keyboard in the rest of the lineup?
It’s very unlikely. Adding another CPU vendor makes everything more complicated. And in the laptop space in particular, Ryzen isn’t even very compelling.
complaining repeatedly because time after time a company's product releases don't meet your personal expectations is kind of stupid, IMO.
I don't mean "the trash can is too limited". I mean, e.g. the complaints in every thread since 2016 about how multiple 40Gbps ports isnt "pro" enough, and that what supposed "pro" users really want is a <checks notes> SD card slot, limited to at the very best, USB2 speeds. Ok. Sure. That makes sense..

That is truly the best case scenario.
According to the reddit post, this is how they usually work around the embargo. Notice all the placeholders in the description: Axxxx
Ordered the 2016 refresh on day one too, i've never had any issues with new products from Apple to be honest.
Could be. Obviously I’m not privy to the inner workings of Apple’s design decisions. I just know that, for me, the butterfly switches fixed my #1 complaint about scissor switches. I recognize that I may be in the minority on that.
