I know of at least one person who-types-like-this-like-an-animal because his MBP space bar broke and he is too afraid to take his machine in. I think Apple's strategy of hot-gluing every internal together to make the 'pro' laptop 1mm thinner is maybe not a good one.

To be clear: the keyboard whining is not about whether the keyboard is nice to use, or lacks an escape key, or whatever. It is that keys get stuck and type double, or fail to register, and that this problem is endemic. And Apple says they will only replace a bad keyboard ONCE!

Burlingame has the worst Apple store filled with the most incompetent managers. I once had to take an iMac back to them seven times because they kept making it worse and saying it was fixed. Ultimately I emailed apple (the tim cook email) and got a replacement.
