    Horrible MBP performance

    So, I bought the 2017 13-inch MBP (3,1 GHz Intel Core i5, 16GB RAM, touchbar, etc.) about 2 months ago. And it's horrible. It just has problem after problem.

    Hi! I some somebody can help me with an incredibly annoying issue. About two months ago my MBP started to lose sleep: in about 40% of the cases in which I close the lid of the laptop, I guess it does not go to sleep. In about 60% of the cases it works as expected.
