Hi Janina, To late,
I've grabbed the 16GB I7 pro and as for the keyboard well that's something I can't get around as apple don't make a better option. If I get stuck I'll just make changes with a hot stick or something. -----Original Message----- From: 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Sent: Monday, 10 June 2019 1:27 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: new mac books Hi, Simon: Being limited to 8Gb RAM might be a problem if you're running Win10, and especially if running in a vm. But, I should think a keyboard you don't like would be even worse. Can you hold out to see what comes from Apple later in the year? A lot of people are having issues with the newer keyboards. Seems reasonable Apple will do something about those complaints.
