Apple's latest keyboard travels back in time to when they weren't crap

Re: All hail the new MacBook Pro

I never had to replace a powerbook or ibook keyboard, but I knew I could do so very easily.

I had to replace a Macbook keyboard once. It took about 50-60 screws the size of those tiny ants, and a complete teardown. The only thing that didn't get hauled out of the case was the screen itself.

I had to replace a Macbook pro keyboard once. It took more like 80 screws, even smaller than ants. Same story with the teardown.

I have another one to do. I've been putting it off about 6 months because I need new glasses.

It'd be lovely if Apple made it so their PCs didn't require an electron microscope to do basic repairs of things that commonly fail, like keyboards.
