No caveats necessary: The new touchpad, new stereo speakers, and new keyboard are all major improvements over previous MacBook Air models.
I have universally positive things to say about all of them, but the accolades are mostly unremarkable: The keyboard is, indeed, a very good keyboard. The same could be said for the trackpad and the speakers.
They do exactly what you think they do, and they do it very well.
The speakers are loud and having one on each side of the keyboard is a really nice change. The keyboard is clicky and responsive, with shorter keys than ever before. I find myself typing faster than ever on the new MacBook Air — a genuine benefit that has a major impact on how I use my laptop.
In the case of the trackpad, it’s larger than ever and as responsive as ever. The major addition here is a novelty named “Force Touch” that first appeared on Apple’s iPhones.
In my experience with Force Touch, it’s a relatively needless gimmick that I could take or leave. By clicking in deeper than you normally would on a mouse click, you get a few different contextual options depending on what you click. It’s totally fine, but I rarely find myself thinking to use it. At the same time, it doesn’t detract from the experience in any way. Force Touch is entirely ignorable, and I suggest you do exactly that.
