Both of the other computers had an exceedingly easier time with the key presses, and it was actually a joy to use.

Then I walked next to it and tested the Al one, and the gold one. I came back in a second time and tested the same computer again ( a week later or so). The first time I messed with the space grey display unit, and found the keyboard clicks to be uneccesarily sharp and have a high force requirement. So I've been to the store twice to fiddle with the new keyboard.

TL DR while everything is getting smaller and faster Apple is giving less value to it's customers by shipping mostly non-standardized parts therefore making consumers buy a new computer instead of upgrading these things on their slightly older one 3.Дў Yes, Apple uses Nvidia, AMD and Intel cards and CPUs however they do not use standard PCI-E or LGA 1150 connectors.ДЈ It may be said that many people don't even know that you can upgrade your computer and that's probably the reason they removed these features in the first place.

The Mac Pro used to have all of these features and now you can upgrade the RAM and nothing else 2. All of their desktops are made with non-standard motherboards, CPU's power supplies and GPU's. Newer processors produce less heat than ever before however you will still get better performance if you properly cool your parts and overclock them (something you can't do on Macs because of their poor airflow 1). That's very true with the air (although I really miss my built in ethernet port I used to have) but there isn't much of a reason to improve the size of the parts in desktop models because (as I mentioned) they just sit in one place the whole time.
