Re: the Macbook keyboard...
My Google Pixel 2 arrived today. It is utterly beautiful, as if riven from a single billet of aluminium. I can't tell you how pleasing it is to own and hold. IMO it blows any Apple laptop I've had a go with out of the water. The extra pound over the Macbook gives it a reassuring heft and the screen is just wonderful. It may 'only' be 239 pixels per inch compared to the Macbook's 226 but I'm convinced that you can tell the difference over a retina display. More pertinently it has a fantastic physical keyboard - which I think is better than a MBP's having had a go, the keys are closer together but not as close as the new Macbook - and a responsive touch screen too.
It's not just me, have a look at the Chrome OS Reddit and you'll find equally rave reviews. I'm posting this in the Mac thread because if you're happy with the functionality of a Chromebook (and many are, even if they think they aren't) you can save £250 over the new retina Macbook and get something which I honestly think you may well be happier with because it beats it on build quality, power, battery life, screen and connections.
