My first mac computer is the 2018 MBP which features the butterfly keyboard, it started failing after about 6 months of use. My previous laptop, a dell e6230 which runs Linux, feels almost as fast, especially for Docker stuff, has a fantastic keyboard and way better battery life. Can't see myself buying any Apple product after that.

- mercer 6y agoI bought a 2017 MBP and figured that surely it can't be that bad in practice. It was, to the point where I could barely type sentences without having to correct double-letter inputs. And that's without anything failing. Thankfully the laptop was insured and I got the 2019 16 inch model now (with the escape key and a working keyboard). Touchbar with BetterTouchTool has proven to be much more useful than I expected. But man was this a massive fuck-up. There's no way a 2000+ product should be able to malfunction in such a fundamental way! EDIT: also, pain. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to getting used to changes in input, so I expected to be okay with less key travel and whatnot. But a day of using the new keyboards /felt/ different. My hands/wrists would hurt. This was only with the MBP with the new keyboard. Whenever I used my old MacBook Air or even the new Magic Keyboard I had no issues. I can't tell for sure, but while it feels a lot better, even the new 16 inch MBP leaves my fingers a bit more sore than the mushier 2013-era Air.
