I tried that too. I am getting mixed results. I have to change the way my hands and fingers move, being so used to moving the whole hand as a signal to say, "esc". I am a very tactile/kinosthetic learning, so changing the sequence my body has to move in space can really mess things up for me,

It is not working well: the very limited travel on the keys is not giving my fingers the feedback that I actually hit the "esc" key (capslock). It introduces errors.

I'd probably have to live with this laptop for a while though. I don't think the startup I work for is going to buy a new MBP for me anytime soon.

Being able to go to 32 GB will be nice though. Up until this 2019 MBP, I had seriously looked into switching back to a Linux laptop.



The 2018 MBP could be configured to 32GB. (It could not be configured to have scissor-switch keyboard of course)


Yeah, it was a bummer it took so long. I started using remote AWS instances to do all of my work because my 8 GB 2015 MBP just could not keep up ... with Slack, Zoom, Chrome, and running Rails. Let alone the VM, running a local version of Kubernetes ...

Nowadays that I am working with Elixir, multi-core is much more appreciated :-D
