Is a very good sign that Apple is willing to cancel shitty products. Still got that culture

If only they cancelled their laptop keyboards.

I love their keyboards, and have never met anyone IRL that has complained about them.

Everyone I know who bought a 2018 MBA, me included, has returned it due to keyboard issues. Which is a shame because I loved the damn thing apart from that.

I didn’t think I would like it but after a few months I love it. Did you return it within the 14 days because of a defect or because you just didn’t like the feel?

I returned it because of duplicate keypresses being registered. Same problem my friends faced with their machines. The keyboard feel was fine. Takes a couple of days to get used to it but I prefer it.

I had it for three weeks. They had extended return times around Christmas which was handy or I’d have to have fought the repair/replace process.

I’d just sold my old 15” MBP before it failed so I am now using an old thinkpad T440 running xubuntu.

I’m more glad I have £1630 of cash in the bank than having the MBA if I’m honest.

The keyboard is shitty, but they let it rip probably because they know it worked well when it does but underestimated the way it would fail. For AirPower they knew it would trip out of the gate
