Hi folks, I'm in the market for a 2017 MacBook 12". Since it's not a powerful machine and I'd like to keep it in service for as long as possible, I'm thinking of shelling out for either the 16GB RAM update or the i5 processor upgrade (or both, I guess). I don't plan to do anything especially... -

I am the owner of a 12" Rose Gold MacBook (early 2016) and I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro (late 2016). However, I've noticed that the keyboard backlight on the MacBook is much brighter than that on the Pro. Has anyone noticed this, or is it just me?- marshmallowclouds
