No.
That cost, what, $5 to make and ship? Or, at Apple's scale, $.50? I think it's inexcusable.
- millstone 7y agoYes it's inexcusable. But If you've already dropped $1300+, do yourself a favor and drop $13 to spare yourself a couple of weeks of inevitable downtime.
- daljfsdlksjf 7y agoor buy a competing laptop, which is what i did and i believe to be the sane choice
- penagwin 7y agoThe cost is all in the distribution/packaging - the covers themselves are surely injection molded, pennies if that per cover, and lots of covers fast. (Injection molding tooling costs like 50k+ to setup, obviously not a concern here). If the cover costs .05$ (which I bet is 5x it's cost) - the rest is all of the packaging/printing/logistics/shipping/etc. My question is if a solution so cheap is available, why can't they just fix the root issue of the keyboard?
