Delet this

>it just works

To match the haptic touchpad.
One with long traveling physical buttons, the other not actually moving, just feeling like a short, sub-1mm click, doesn't work. The keyboard meets the trackpad half way

For apple, sadly not.
So many people turn them in for repair, and apple's forced to replace the entire upper case assembly and battery. Of those who get repairs for the keyboard, something like 80% return AGAIN for keyboard issues within three months, even though the whole fucking thing and everything around it gets replaced wholesale

>700 freedom bucks for a keyboard replacement

And I thought a Thinkpad keyboard for 40-50€ is overpriced...

>didn’t get an extended warranty
>hurrrrr apllyl is bad

(You)

MACTODDLERS BTFO AGAIN

How will mactoddlers ever recover?

Nigga the keyboard has over 35 keys on it.
One or two unresponsive keys is barely an inconvenient, you can use the on-screen keyboard or just copy and paste the character from other text.

Stop acting like somehow no other brand ever had any problem with a keyboard, ever.

ayy

warranty doesn't matter.
if you educated your faggot self with this you'd have seen that apple's design flaw doesn't apply on warranty.

thanks Apple!

I refuse to buy a laptop with an irreplaceable keyboard.

I'll use my X220 for as many years as I need to.

honestly, I think this is kind of a good thing in a weird way. it's indicative of the amount of quality and flawlessness people have come to expect from Apple.
if something like this had been happening to, say, a Dell or HP laptop no one would bat an eye because it's all par for the course. but Apple seems to get crucified whenever there's even a minor flaw in any of their products.

MACFAGGOTS ON SUICIDE WATCH

Lots of people were complaining about the old macbook keys. Backlight shining from around the edges makes it harder to see and unnecessarily bright, keys were unstable and small. The butterfly switch mechanism was built to address those issues and unfortunately introduced a new on in the process.

>amount of quality and flawlessness
A literally broken keyboard with unresponsive keys is not a "minor flaw".
In any other laptop brand it would warrant a return or free warranty service

same thing happened on a few Chromebook models like two years ago and nobody gave a shit.
same shit happened to the HP Spectre and nobody cared.
happens to a macbook and suddenly everybody loses their shit.
hmm...wonder why.

Did the fix require stripping down the whole machine and removing a keyboard riveted to the case?

for the most part, people just didn't bother fixing it. chromebooks are inexpensive so if anything happens you could easily just spit up $150 for a different one.
the chrome os subreddit was up in flames over it but nothing ever happened.
