This is great news for MBP/MB owners. The lack of a 2018 release of notebooks while they properly address this is the right thing to do. I wonder how much the class action lawsuits had to do with this, but I feel happy about the outcome regardless of how we got here. Net-net though, I think Apple did lose out in the sense the faulty keyboard drove a segment of their user base to experiment with a Linux or Windows based work environment when news of keyboard reliability issues surfaced after the 2016 release. Having not used a Windows based system for years, I now have a Lenovo X1 Carbon as a backup notebook after my 2017 MBP had keyboard issues. And to be honest, it's not bad with the Windows Linux Subsystem (Ubuntu installs as an app from the app store). Losing mind share is probably one of the worst things that can happen to a brand.
