.. as long as you avoided the emoji keyboard era, or never used an emoji keyboard laptop outdoors or even with your windo open :)
I have laptops much older than the ~2018 that work perfectly. But not only the 2018's keyboard broke, but to add insult to the injury they used a display cable that was too short in that generation and that broke too.
That is Cook's legacy :)
- carlosjobim 6mo agoExactly my experience as well. Macs were great until 2016 and great after 2020. Between that the hardware was worst in class.
- nottorp 6mo agoOh the 2018 should still work with an external monitor and keyboard. I could even get the display cable replaced. What I can’t do is replace the keyboard with ont that won’t break again in 3 months.
