> This honestly seems like a terrible machine. It does, doesn't it? My company has thousands of Macbooks. I've never heard of anything remotely similar. My current laptop is a 2016 model. No repairs needed, ever. Only now the battery is complaining. Not even the butterfly keyboard gave me any issues. It's likely the only repair it will ever need is the battery. Or maybe not even that, it's overdue for a replacement due to age. But works just fine. I also have a 2015 model. Also fine. Dropped it in concrete. A small dent. Totally fine. Unless quality has significantly degraded, this sounds like a bad unit/batch.
