Aren't these all still prone to keyboard issues even after the membrane fix or whatever it was? Might be wary of buying one.
They are still prone to keyboard issues along with other issues (T2, etc).

It's still a nice laptop while under warranty (i.e. get AppleCare+ and plan to sell and replace the laptop before the warranty ends).

What is to prevent a non-student faking that they are going to school for the better pricing ?
I did this last year - Best Buy will email your .edu address a voucher for the discount.
