    MBP TouchBar Left Shift Key Failure

    Something weird just happened a couple of hours ago. I was going about my day, working on my MBP (13" TB) when I realized that my left shift key wouldn't work. It's been several hours (I'm aware of the 'sticky' key issue on these machines that seems to correct itself) but nothing's happening...

    2017 TB MBP Sticky Trackpad

    Has anyone here encountered an issue where when the computer is warm, the trackpad becomes sticky and refuses to click down in certain areas?

    Best MacBook with $2,000 budget?

    The crux of this question is about what people here would think is the better buy between i5 and i7 chips. I'm typing this on a 13" MacBookPro Retina with Touchbar. I am a fan of the new build and of the screens. I don't think I've ever liked a machine as much. This is a work machine, though...

    Is The Touchbar Supposed to Be a Tad Blurry?

    Picked up a maxed out 15" refurb from Apple today and immediately notices that the touchbar is not as sharp as I thought it would be. It's not terrible looking by any means but I thought it would be "retina" sharp especially since it's OLED. Probably being a little OCD here but it being a refurb...
