    Is the base MBP 2020 worth getting over any MBA 2020 just for the cooling system?

    Hi all, I’m reading so much conflicting information across the internet about the thermals on the MBA and if/how it affects performance and overheating etc. I think the MBA probably fits my requirements as a light-ish user, but that cooling system really concerns me in terms of longevity.

    Macbook Buying Advice

    Faulty keys on MBP 2017, upgrade to new 2020 MBP?

    I could wait until the Apple store opens and take it in (can’t be bothered with all the hassle though) but will they swap it out for a different device or have to spend a while swapping the keyboard? OR I could sell it and buy a new MBP or Air. My question is, in the U.K, will they swap the...
