even though I loved my rMBP from 2012, I had to buy something new once I dropped it and the GPU died. I wanted TB3 so I went with a 2017 rMBP. It took me 1 week to migrate over from my old computer to the new because of - Adapters not being compatible - Multiple Disk Utility bugs - APFS bugs - Migration Assistant bugs Since I finally got everything working, I've had the following hardware issues - Caps lock travelling is super iffy - Screen edge bleeding on all corners - Right speaker exploded when I unplugged the charger 3 week after I bought it - Accidental input because of Touch Bar if this continues, this will be the last Apple computer I buy.

I've been staring at a prohibitory screen of my friends Imac while I try to boot it from a External hard drive that I created with createinstallmedia. Unable to install from store because “This item is temporarily unavailable, try again later” ACMT and I really don't want anyone to bring me the systems anymore. It really is soul crushing sometimes dealing with this software. Gone are the days where "It just works" And I worked for Applecare back when they had powerbooks and logic board issues.

Ever since the release of the 2016 MBP redesign I've been hanging onto my late 2013 MacBook Pro for dear life. I really want to upgrade, but I just can't justify spending thousands of dollars on a machine with a keyboard that can (could) be wiped out by dust particles, no function key row, and one that requires a pile of dongles be transported with it wherever it goes to support external hardware. Just make the computer slightly longer and give me back my keyboard. The touch bar is neat, why does it have to be either/or?

  That's everyone on my team right now. We're also all on Sierra still because High Sierra breaks things for us.
