Why would anyone buy a 2018 MacBook? This problem has been in the news for over a year. While they plan to fix it, they haven't yet.
I had a late 2016 model with a defective keyboard out of the box. Finally had it repaired mid-2018 (which took over a month), and the new one died within days.
It'll be many years before I consider even accepting another free MacBook from work, much less buy one. I don't know if Apple realizes just how badly they messed up. I used to have an iPad, iPhone, home MacBook, and work MacBook, and even stupidly bought their overpriced Thunderbolt display out of some deranged brand loyalty. Now the only Apple product I still use is my iPad (because it hasn't completely died yet), and when this goes, that'll be it.
- parasubvert 7y agoI have a 2017 Macbook Pro and love it, and have never had the keyboard issues. This is the thing: there are millions of happy Macbook Pro customers that don't hang out on hacker news. I then spilled wine on my keyboard, they replaced the top case and it, still no problems. Yes, they should fix the keyboard. But I don't think they've screwed up as badly as people think.
