If all the keys had an OLED panel, it could be useful, i.e multiple languages, DVORAK support, special symbols when you are gaming… But just getting the function keys. I don't see the point.
Here is my wish list for MBP.
- Kaby Lake
- Optane storage
- Wireless charging of Apple Watch, iPhone and mouse
- Smaller/lighter AC adapter
- No screen bezels so we can have larger screen or smaller sized laptop
- Light weight internal graphics card, but powerful external card as add-on (for VR)
- Fingerprint / retina scanner
- Better speakers, at least on par with iPad Pro
- Leap Motion / Kinect capabilities for in air gestures
- Water resistant, so you can spill coffee on it
- Better camera, at least on par with a Logitech C920 Pro
- Built-in laptop feets that extends when you turn power on
But most likely we will get an overpriced product with a 16 month old processor and some more memory. It's all about the stock owners now, not building great product that transforms the industry.
You forgot OLED screen.
