It's called a butterfly keyboard because it's thin, beautiful, and dies if you touch it too much.
You're eating it wrong?
It is crazy that they can do that via software.

I wonder what impact a forced 33% increase in overall brightness on the same hardware, will have on battery life.
I've got the mid-2013 MacBook Air, still going strong, but I'm due for an upgrade of the internal storage. I could upgrade that myself, but considering a new laptop. Do you recommend *against* replacing it with a 2018 MacBook Air because of the keyboard?
Unless I'm missing something, the brightness control ought to still work. Just because it gets brighter at the top end doesn't mean you have to keep it there.
Honestly this is a major reason I haven't bought this machine yet (along with skepticism around the keyboard). Can any current users confirm it makes a noticeable difference?
You’re WILDLY overestimating consumer purchasing decisions if you honestly think an average person has any idea what a nit is.
Saving for second release ‘next big thing’If it’s that easy go upgrade that FaceTime camera too

Awesome. Thank you for the lecture. Much appreciated.The reason they don't give it a P3 gamut is because they want you to buy a Pro if you want that feature. It's Marketing 101. Want more? Then spend more.
Hopefully a reader will be inspired to educate themself with a quick google search. And then they will know what they should already know.You’re WILDLY overestimating consumer purchasing decisions if you honestly think an average person has any idea what a nit is.
Everything is always software.How would this be achieved? Assuming it wasn’t just a software limitation in the first place...
Could the update include firmware for the SMC to increase the electrical voltage to the display or something like that?
I like the updated keyboard, but I don't eat cookies while typing.
Oh and suddenly it’s possible for Apple to deliver better “hardware”.
They wanted to keep that “feature” for the next gen model, but according to the sales, they had to act
I totally agree with this. They thought the fact it was a redesign would be enough to keep sales up. Clearly that hasn't happened.
Nice photoshopping.Not going to be satisfied until the screen can vaporize debris trapped under the keys.
EDIT: Never mind, the difference is amazing!

So they can actually tweak that via software. Great! I'll buy the MBA once they include 2 additional CPU cores in a future MacOS update.

I like my butterfly keyboard. I have the 2018MBP15 and also the 2017MBP15 they are quite neat actually. If they break, which the 2017 one did, just toss them back to Apple and in a week you get a brand new top case assembly and sometimes logic board replaced for free. I don’t care if it breaks, that’s not my problem as long as it works great when it’s not broken, I’m happy. They are fantastic personal machines that I wouldn’t trade for anything else. If you need more compute power than the top of the line MBP15, then delegate the workload to a server cluster. At home you can use the 2 x 5k monitor on each side with it. The other Mac that I think is pretty sleek is the iMac Pro. It’s beautiful and it’s powerful. Again if you need more just off load the compute task to a server, like rendering or compiling or building symbols, optimizing database, etc that can take days and on the scale of 10TB+. If you are on the budget then the best bang for your buck is the lowest standard config 5K iMac, don’t buy the 1080p iMac tho, the smaller 4K iMac can be considered if you need one more step down. Make sure to swap the Magic Mouse out with a Magic Trackpad.I like the updated keyboard, but I don't eat cookies while typing.
