Resolved MacBook Air - real world experience

[kreasonos]

I got mine on day 1 (Nov 7th) and the keyboard went out the other day. Specifically, the spacebar keeps repeating. Took it to the apple store and it's a 7-10 day turnaround- ridiculous. They don't offer loaners, so I asked to buy another one so I can use it for 14 days and return it since I can't be without a laptop, they said there was a 30 minute in-store queue just to buy something. Double ridiculous. Apple stores are a ****ing mess. Ended up ordering one through the app and paying extra for the 2-hour courier delivery.

I should have just kept my 2015 13" MBP and dealt with the older TB2 and slower CPU. I really don't have confidence in mac laptops anymore. Desktops are still good, though. 2018 Mac mini + eGPU and iMac Pro are great whenever I get to work with them.

That’s a bummer, honestly I just got a MacBook Air a couple days ago and if that happened to me I’d probably get rid of it. I did notice on mine when I pick it up on the right side, there’s a noticeable pop from the back plate flexing in. But I mean it doesn’t really bother me I consider it more cosmetic. But, if the keyboard goes I’ll be done with it.
