Bought new MacBook Pro. One of the keys didn't work unless you really whacked it. Spent 4 weeks waiting for a replacement from Apple (1/2)
On the replacement, another key is broken... it sometimes presses itself. Basically impossible to type correctly on this machine (2/2)

I’m awaiting the Dell XP 15 refresh this round, infinity screen + specs make it far more attractive IMO: http://www.anandtech.com/show/10937/dell-readies-new-xps-15-4k-quad-core-kaby-lake-geforce-gtx-1050 …

…which is unfortunate, I strongly prefer macOS for general usage on a laptop. Apple doesn’t care about dev machines anymore :(

meanwhile my touchbar always gets frozen (except ESC still works). Always have to reboot
-
Similar issues with touchbar. Often looks off, then touch where ESC _should_ be and that part works.

-
Simple fix. You need to write a touchbar app that has a software key for each of your broken physical keys.
-
switch to Linux. Then the keyboard won't work at all and you won't be bothered by that key.
-
wow that sucks. I know correlation != causation, but it seems like QA has gotten worse at Apple, in both hardware and software :(
-
back to an older model? That new keyboard really is awful. -
-
totally worth the $3k then?
-
well worth the wait
-
-
compared to older MBPs, key travel on the newest one is practically a myth.
-
Legendary built quality, huh? I don't think they'll ever build anything that will be solid enough to entice me to buy it.
-
Bet you're remembering that old Thinkpad keyboard--on the machine you disliked because there were stickers and vents on the bottom.

What do you think of the "Jar Jar Bar"?http://www.theverge.com/2016/12/23/14069124/the-2016-macbook-pro-with-jar-jar-bar-no-sir-we-dont-like-it …

too hard to press, presses itself - you are such a goldilocks typist

Bought a Lenovo Ideapad 300-15ISK on Amazon Day. Cost under $500. Dropped it on the power port while plugged in. Nothing broke.
-
other than that, is the keyboard any good? Tested it in the store and it felt awful
-
lucky you! it's one of the dyslexic limited edition

I’m wondering if staying on my late 2013 Pro is a better option. Never had an issue with it. Performance is still perfect for me.
