Low light performance is the biggest issue with MacBook cameras. 720p would be fine if the cameras got GORGEOUS images in less than optimal lighting conditions. Apple likes using words like gorgeous and their cameras should be doing just that in ‘normal’ lighting! That’s how to fix the dreadful reputation Apple has for MacBook cameras.
As for lack of 14″ display – BIG reason not to buy this year. It’s kind of insulting, increasing the 15″ display size, but not the 13″.
I prefer the light touch of the butterfly keyboards – much better for your body, but if you want an old-style keyboard, the 16″ is a better half-update than this quarter update 13″.
