Frank climbing the laptop was cute

Wade typing on the pc complaining about the keyboard is the equivalent of him complaining of a nugget's microphone while using it to tell us about it

Who's here after launch of Macbook Neo?

Oh God I wiped my memory of these from all the keyboard issues that came into my shop. At least you made me laugh while I cried.

I worked for Apple during the time the Butterfly keyboard and the Macbook 12" launched. We had SO MANY PEOPLE coming in with keyboard issues. Troubleshooting the keyboard issues meant we first had to remove the keycap and clean the mechanism underneath to see if it resolved the issue (Which worked about 1 in 50 times). Removing the keycaps was a terrible experience, as we had to take this weird, angled plastic stick, and put a sticky pad on it. Then we had to stick it to the keycap, and lift at an angle to remove the key. Then we had to do the reverse to install a new key. We broke so many keycaps and key mechanisms that we usually had to replace the whole keyboard. And the problem was, keyboard replacements necessitated a new topcase, which was what everything mounted to. Which means if we had to do a repair, we had to take EVERYTHING (motherboard, display, speakers, etc.) out of the old topcase and transplant it into the new topcase. And these things were so small, and so fiddly, they were terrible to work on. The bottom panel was so delicate to remove, and the retaining clips were very easy to break. What's worse, it had a freaking cable connected that only offered about 1.5" worth of travel before it broke, so you had to be veeeeeeeeery careful removing it, or risk breaking the cable! In short, these 12" Macbooks were some of the worst laptops Apple ever made, and we literally cheered in the service department when we heard they were discontinuing them.

"Sir we cant keep the CPU cool with such a small frame and heatsink"
SHADDUP, I DIDNT ASK

"And its completely fanless"

I think I can begin to see the issue.

00:23 I'm pretty sure Cook is older than 10 years.

3:00 - I love how between the m5 and m7 of that laptop there is a single tiny point of difference. The upgrade to m7 was extremely expensive Apple style, but all you were paying for was a single point in geekbench.

I thought that was the same Macbook Air my girlfriend stubbornly refuses to let me replace, it astounds me how dual cores can trudge along like that.

As bad as it was, I wish Apple revived the 12 inch with an M series chip and updated keyboard. The portability of this form factor is amazing for working on the go.

THESE ONE USB-C PORT DISASTERS

6:48 and yet, here i am, ironically watching this video on a touchbar mac. thank goodness it has a physical escape button, actual perfectly fine scissors switch keys, and four USB-C ports instead of two or one.

When i worked for an Apple Service Provider, these were by far the absolute worst Apple computers to work on. They had a special tool that made sure you didnt pull the enclosure and display clamshell too far apart or else the ribbon cables would rip.

These MacBooks represent the phrase  “Look over function” at its finest

Maybe a controversial opinion, but I really wish they brought back this computer with a revised keyboard and Apple Silicon and maybe an extra USB-C port

its insane how the butterfly keyboard was so prone to failure but apple so stubborn to change that they had to do free keyboard assembly replacements after being hit with a class action lawsuit. they took a massive lost on each repair it wasn't just the keys that got replaced the assembly included the trackpad, top frame and battery that's hundreds of dollars of just parts per repair

12 inch with full sized keyboard is peak laptop. Can't prove me wrong

1:16 smell the pixels😂😂😂
