[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1840653, member: 38864"] I have to say I'm not a big fan of the butterfly keyboard that my MacBook Air has and that the 2018 MacBook Pro you are looking at would have, and I especially hate the design of the arrow key cluster, but I have gotten used to it. If I was looking at a $1000 difference and the cheaper one was more than adequate for my needs otherwise? I'd say go with the 2018. But... I would suggest that before you do so, if you are a heavy typist, that you at least try out the two types of keyboards at a store to see for yourself what the feel is. $1k is a lot more to spend for a better keyboard, but not so much if for your needs and preferences and likes that you just can't come to terms with the difference in how the butterfly keyboard feels. If I was a professional writer or programmer using this all day, I don't know that this keyboard would be cutting it for me. [/QUOTE]
