Junk keyboard.
Hard pass.
It’s a 701 day old computer. This isn’t a deal, it’s just taking advantage of naive consumers
A 701 day old computer with apparent reliability issues. Money in hand. Hard pass for now.In my opinion this is a much better deal than the current MacBook Air at these prices (not to mention this is much more portable)...
For $800, I would take that MacBook all day over the Air, especially considering the CPU power is basically the same. Plus, you'd be surprised at how much more you take a laptop with you when it's as light as the MacBook is.From my standpoint, this would be an obvious no brainer, unless you really need Thunderbolt 3(which seems to be more suited towards pro machines). I don't.
As far as the keyboard, I'm pretty used to it to the point were regular keyboards seem a little weirder. And if you're that worried about reliability, Apple provides 4 years of free repairs:https://www.apple.com/support/keyboard-service-program-for-macbook-and-macbook-pro/, which from what I've read are being done on site now. So yeah, people need to quit with the groupthink and mass hysteria about these kind've things.
