    Apple Silicon MacBooks and backlit logo

    One of the classic things ditched by Apple with the Intel transition was the glowing Apple backlit logo on their laptops. I don't know why this was removed (probably the thin lid). But do you think this classic backlit Apple logo makes a comeback with the new Apple Silicon based MacBooks?
