    I bought one of these (in black) back in late 2012. I'm writing this comment with it, as I have been using it literally daily ever since it arrived home. It's been in countless countries, done all sorts of work, and still works just as well as it did the first moment I powered it up. I have to admit it has been accidentally dropped and stepped on (oops), but survived everything. I did think it was pricey at the time, but oh boy has it completely paid itself off. Very reliable and sturdy machines.

    @@ahwx personally I really like it. It's very easy to type with as you can slide your fingers across the keyboard considering how flat it is. Again this is pretty much the only computer I've used in the past 9 years and I haven't had any sort of substantial experience with mechanical keyboard so can't compare. Only recently the "D" key has started double-tapping (not too bothering) but aside from that, flawless experience.
