Technology has culminated with vacuuming our laptops

in #tech • 8 years ago

Apple's MacBook keyboard is terrible. We all know this, as do all the people who filed class action lawsuits against the company over its design. A single dust particle can totally disable a key, which often requires compressed air to remove. Is this seriously what Apple expects us to do to use its products — spray air into a keyboard?

Apparently there's an alternative method to deal with the disastrous keyboard: a handheld vaccuum. Thomas Ricker, The Verge's deputy editor, tested a crowdfunded vaccuum as a solution to his MacBook's problems, and it worked. That's right, it's 2018, and we're all going to buy vaccums solely to suck air up from our terrible keyboards.
