A crumb resistant keyboard would be killer. I would say even more of a seal around the computer when its shut and in my bag. The screen seems to get really dusty, and I honestly take great care with my things but I can't stop it getting bits on it.
Got a tip for us?

The keyboard problems have been happening from the retina MacBooks in 2015 through to the 2016 & 2017 MBPs.
Any chance of this stuff getting fixed should get as much coverage as possible. Also there were separate articles for Apple patenting a watch case charger https://www.macrumors.com/2018/02/27/apple-patent-apple-watch-charging-case/
for trademark filing https://www.macrumors.com/2018/02/20/apple-new-trademark-classic-rainbow-logo/
and for wireless charger
https://www.macrumors.com/2017/12/29/apple-patent-filing-scheduling-wireless-power/ instead of bundling them in here with people arguing about how valid a reviewer MKBHD is.
Watching tech reviews is like a dose of bad reruns that never go away and every show is doing a rerun of the same content and the same scripts as the other bad reruns much like this run on sentence clearly makes a point of. I wish people would delete tech reviews and all tech related videos on youtube as soon as the "the next tech thing comes out" because it's a landfill out there of garbage tech reviews.

Consumers make everything a problem and expect everything to have an instant gratifying solution but they are not willing to use common sense nor break disgusting habits when using 4000 dollar plus gadgets by companies who couldn't care less ;D

Good production doesn't mean good content. It's like a tricked up movie that sucks.
Transformers (any) = Beautiful visuals...completely sucked.
Shawshank Redemption = No special effects...best movie of all time.
Oh come on. Laptops are expected to be a part of daily life at this point. Not everybody lives in Jony Ive's pristine white space environment. And who in the modern workplace hasn't had to do some emails over lunch? For decades, keyboards have been robust enough to deal with it. If the current crop of (terrible) Apple keyboards is this fragile and failure-prone, that's straight up an engineering issue.

Ha. "Different" is one word for it. Remember how much people had to say about the previous generation of MacBook keyboards, how you had to "get used to" them?
Oh right. You don't, because nobody was saying that. They just worked and felt familiar and usable right out of the box.
Human hands are remarkable and can "get used to" all kind of terrible crap. The keyboard on an expensive laptop shouldn't be something you have to adjust to.

Every phone slows down or crashes over time due to battery degradation. But enjoy your fantasy. So I guess a first gen Android from the 2000s will suffice today then, right? The slow down of phones is primarily due to app advancement.
Forget the crumb keyboard, we need a water proof keyboard.
You don't know how many I've had to replace at work in the last 12 months thanks to rogue coffee cups...

This is nonsense. The link you posted describes the very issue that Apple was trying to solve with its intentional slowdown - old batteries no longer being able to provide sufficient power and causing the devices to shut down.
The real reasons that all smartphones have tended to slow down over time, include:
- The flash memory wears out and slows down dramatically compared to the "out-of-the-box" performance. This is exacerbated by letting the phone storage get and stay full.
- OS and application updates which are more taxing. New features, fancier animations, etc. run great on the latest phones but can take a toll on older devices. In addition, app developers regularly update to the latest phones while developing and testing, so slowdowns on older phones are not as apparent.
- OS and application cruft. A factory reset can help with this, but to fix both #1 and #2 a new device is needed.
I've been following him for a couple of years and this opinion doesn't reflect the reality at all.
I don't see how a guy buying and using maxed out top of the line Apple products could be at the same time "super biased" against Apple.
He's super biased in general, even if it's not Apple related. He is like a typical generic person reviewing tech. Literally zero content in his videos besides the expensive camera and decent editing.
I'd have appreciated seeing arguments that support your point but I guess you just don't like the guy regardless of his clear preference for Apple products in general and his obvious technical knowledge in his field (i.e. he's focused on video and audio production).
I’m not ready to congratulate him for buying an expensive camera and microphone. It’s still all about content.
That is true, but I think his content is OK. Also production quality does not necessary mean special effects. It's the way he structures/cuts the video, audio and image quality, small details etc.
