Oh crap, this is the only thing I cared about. Ok so it's a no-go from day one.
I don't care if Apple has a 4 year warranty program for the keyboard. The fact is, I can't give up my main laptop for 2-5 days every 6 months to have them fix it for free.
- enjeyw 8y agoI take advantage of Apple's no questions asked return policy for stuff like this: Take my laptop in to be repaired, buy a brand new MBP at the same time. Load everything onto the new laptop using a time machine backup (takes about 2 hours), and use that while they're repairing my laptop. When my laptop is fixed, I pick it up and return the one I bought at the same time for a full refund. It's a bit of fuss making sure I keep the 'free-hire' laptop completely pristine, but it's fun to use a brand new machine every so often.
- cjsawyer 8y agoNot everyone has thousands of dollars sitting around to “rent” new apple hardware. Fine, if that’s your solution. I’ll stick to buying hardware that works.
