- shurcooL 9y agoI was lucky it happened last year, just before the repair extension program [0] ended for this model. Given the first logic board lasted a good 6 years of heavy use, I hope the new one doesn't die too soon. That said, unfortunately, the TYUIO keys have recently started acting up occasionally. Apparently it's a common enough hardware failure that there are existing results if you google it. When I do have to get a new machine, I'm planning to get the latest 15" MBP. Hopefully a new refreshed version comes out by then with either Coffee Lake or Cannon Lake CPUs. Also, not holding my breath, but I do hope they keep making the keyboard better [1] and less susceptible to complete failure due to a little inevitable dust [2] getting in there...
