  • Editorial: Reporting about the MacBook Pro is failing at a faster rate than the butterfly ...



    I fall into the first category. I never had a problem with Mac keyboards for 30 years, until I got my 2016 MacBook Pro. It’s annoying—the keyboard doubles some letters, especially the “B,” and then the software auto-corrects, sometimes well, sometimes terribly. But everything I’ve read has seemed to indicate that a replacement would take significant time (more than an hour or two) and perhaps just replace the keyboard with another just as prone to failure, so I haven’t done anything about it and have therefore not been included in any of the official statistics. 
    Yes, most people who have a stuck key on their keyboard just deal with it and don't expect that the vendor should be apologizing beyond just repairing the ultra delicate keyboard on a premium laptop. But back to the data: it shows over time Apple's machines have been getting more reliable. 
    If "most people" (including myself) "just deal with it" instead of giving up their computer for weeks to have the keyboard replaced with one that's reportedly just as failure-prone, how useful can that data be?
