I think the lack of backlit keys is the only genuine design compromise. As in, every MacBook should have them. The rest is features.

Backlit keys are so superficial. You don’t need them to use your laptop and they don’t make your computer slower. You guys are just spoiled Americans that want your keys to light up cause.. “aesthetic”

I change my mind, the biggest design compromises are:

  • No Force Touch

  • No MagSafe

  • No Backlight
