Did they ever redesign those awful keyboards from a few years back? Is the power cord still a motherfucking USB C plug?

What's wrong with usb c power? It's the greatest thing about the MacBook. I plug my s22 with it, and then i plug my MacBook with it. No extra effort, no extra plug.

Also yes their keyboards are good now

They're just delicate. Unless they make the back ones super high quality and durable. But I love the old magnet ones that just fall right out with no bending. I suppose the best of both worlds would be include a mag plug and also allow the USB ports to charge.

no to both, they are actually one of the best computers you can buy now. they brought the magnetic connector back, there are plenty of ports and the keyboard is good again.

Wanted to add that the touchbar is also gone, for anyone who wasn't aware.
