So sick of this bullshit. Bought 2017 MBP knowing about the keyboard problem but hoping it would be okay for me. Within the first week my spacebar starts jamming up / being unresponsive. So I buy compressed air and order a keyboard cover. Cover arrives today and it's fucking bent on the corner, forcing me to tape it down and get them to send me a new one. I was thinking of returning this for a ThinkPad but I was past the return date.
>TL;DR I'm going to KMS because of shillbook pro butterfly fuckboards
Wanted it for iOS dev / bash term and Logic Pro, but fuck paying another 500 or so for the MemeBar(tm) model

>macshit Found your problem.
Carson Perez
>keyboard cover ...what? is that really something iFaggots have to use to make their products actually survive being used? what a joke
Chase Sanchez
Are you fucking retarded? Apple has a 4 or 5 year fix policy for the keyboard now. Go bring it to the store and get it fixed rather than complaining like a retard.
Adam Myers
It's a design flaw, they don't replace it with a new gen keyboard, just the same shit one. I'm not getting the topcase replaced every time a piece of crum gets under the keycap
Then maybe stop eating a whole fucking 5 course meal over your laptop? I have a 2016 15" rMBP that work has given me. I've never had this keyboard problem, and I've been using it for two years now.
I'm not saying the problem doesn't exist. But if it's supposedly happening so often to you that you can't be assed to bring it to the store, then you need to fix your computer habits.

1. Always buy Applecare. 2. Don't eat over your keyboard like a slob.
Justin Lee
YOU SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE PIXELBOOK
Await Oct 9th. Good Things Are In The Works!
Liam Powell
The surface is the new status symbol line of computers. Apple is a money pit.
Ryan Jackson
Still, why buy one from their shit series? You can get older macs without the keyboard issues for less.
Anthony Gomez
It's a $5 piece of rubber you buy to keep the keyboard from sanding down due to the oil on your skin which increases resale value by much more than that.
Samuel Lewis
I didn't want to buy one that's already a couple years old, because in a few years time it would be antiquated. Even though this 2017 is a year old, it's still the newest non touch bar model :/
William Sanchez
Yeah, I get that and I'm sorry about your space key but thuth is, you did kinda play yourself there mate.
Why not just take it into a store and getting the keyboard replaced?

>I'm not happy he died but I'm glad he's gone.
David Gutierrez
If you bought a ghostcover, how could it have possibly been bent like that? It's in a very large box, unless your mailman just bends the everloving fuck out of your mail all day long.
Easton Johnson
I'm happy he died, and I'm glad he's gone/
Benjamin Thomas
Nah. Macs hold their resale value better than most chinkshit. You buy a case and keyboard cover so that you can sell it later and make back 50%+ of what you paid.
Jonathan Ortiz
It's a Moshi cover. I have no idea how it's bent in this way, short of there being a problem when it was packaged...
Gavin Cruz
>know about a massively widespread problem in the product >buy the product with very high chance of getting a massively widespread problem >notice the massively widespread problem appear in your product that is prone to having this massively widespread problem >cry about getting a massively widespread problem in a product known to be prone to this massively widespread problem that you bought knowing full well about the massively widespread problem problem
Zachary Scott
Dang, that sucks man. Ghostcover packages their covers in a large cardboard sleeve. Not sure it could bend that way unless you were really trying to bend it.
Yes this company packaged it in a long cardboard too so i have no idea.
Also people seem to be confused, I got the spacebar back to normal, but I'm just frustrated at the incompetent design, making it so easy to stop keys from working. They just replace the keyboard with an identical one that is just as prone to things being lodged in it.
Owen Ward
ah ok. I misunderstood the OP.
Yeah, the design is shit. The 2018 model has a rubber membrane that should help, but they really need to move to another design or something. There must be a way to maintain the thin profile but have a better keyboard.
Isaac Ward
Yup, the membrane is a decent solution I think. It wouldn't be a big deal if they would atleast replace people's old flawed keyboard with this new one.
The Pros are a little out of the ballpark of what i'm willing to pay.
At the moment i'm hoping these rumours for an updated Air or larger Macbook are true.
John Sullivan
>. Go bring it

Christopher James
>getting Dorito dust all over your keyboard you deserve it fuckin retard
Lincoln Ramirez
funny thing is, you can get dorito dust for years, DECADES, over any other keyboard and it still works could it be that he deserves it because he's a retarded macfag?
This is going to sound stupid but did you get a receipt and is this within a year of the purchase date?
You know they give you a new one for free right?
Zachary Cruz
Why the fuck didn’t you just buy 2018 one with condom?
Justin Jackson
should have got a thinkpad
Brayden Martin
apple is a poorfag brand now lmao
Samuel Cox
>I didn't want to buy one that's already a couple years old, because in a few years time it would be antiquated. Silly user, Macbook's having improved in performance for five years.
Adam Peterson
I returned my 2017 MacBook Pro for a refurbished 2015 model and it was the best decision I could have made. Really liking the 2015 it seems like the final OK laptop Apple have made.
Ethan Moore
It was always a poorfag brand. It's the Lexus of computers, high end of the midrange market so poorfags think they're hot shit for being able to afford it.
>chink shit >better design >better screen >better display ratio >better keyboard >almost 2 times lighter >smaller bezels >better temps >better performance Did I miss anything? I suppose battery life is about same. It may be chink but it still runs circles around your (((non-chink))) shillbook.

Either get an older one or look into PC laptops that hackintosh well.
Colton Collins
That's called being the leader of a cult.

I own that already. It's a piece of shit that tips over constantly.

Don't be a retard and eat over your computer. Regardless of what make and model.
Brody Lee
I have eaten over an aplel wireless cuqgic keyboard for 6 weeks straight. How does that make you feel?
Confirmed for never have used one. 5 seconds with it and you know what you said is complete and utter bullshit.
Gabriel Lewis
apple is worse than chinkshit
Josiah Evans
what's the newest model without the problem? 2015? 2016?
Jackson Edwards
>5 seconds with it and you know what you said is complete and utter bullshit. Yeah because the first thing you do is go on amazon and buy a mini chalkboard type stand to fucking clip it to.

Literally can do all of that on my late 2013 macbook air and battery still lasts 9-12 hours. You got jewed, dumbass.

if you buy any laptop made past 2013, you deserve whatever happens to you.
Benjamin Fisher
look, after testing most laptop brands over the last few years, I'd say either buy Lenovo, Dell or Asus. Apple is a joke. Nobody cares about what brand you use, you just need the best tool to do the work, and it's certainly not that brand.
Julian Myers
This is an important point. Apple with Woz was a wonderland. Apple with Jobs was a force to be reckoned with. You useless millennials and zoomers won't recall this, but Google used to be so goddamn good it became a verb. Brin and Page, before they had barely a scrap of money, made a great search engine that found exactly what you were looking for, and damn the consequences. For all the talk of the Linux CoC and what it means, let's not forget that Linux is Linus. Through sheer force of will, Jobs made Apple relevant again. Through sheer brain power, Brin and Page made a search engine that spanned the Internet. Through sheer force of meritocracy, Linus created a Free kernel.
Individuals matter. Great men matter.
Zachary Sanders
>look, after testing most laptop brands over the last few years, I'd say either buy Lenovo, Dell or Asus. Post your testing results, or be a nigger shill.
Liam Hernandez
Now Apple is just peak Capitalism. Just shows how fucking shitty the system is. If you redistributed all of Apple's wealth amongst the US, every adult would get $8000, enough for a lifetime of Xiaomi phones.

Camden Evans
Apple is pretty much the worst choice year after year. They don't have any quality control meaning that every generation of every product category has some ridiculous flaw that shouldn't be there. You buy something and you have a huge chance of having to send it back and complain. People who know nothing about alternatives think it's the best brand because they have the nerve to price those subpar products so up.
If you have to get an Apple product for some status reason, get a tablet. Those things are so simple devices that even Apple can't fail with them (I think). I'm not saying they make the best tablets, I'm saying a tablet would be the safest option.
