The dreaded MacBook Pro 2017 keyboard (Image credit: Future)īefore I sold that laptop, I bought a Google Pixelbook Go, which has a wonderful keyboard on which I love typing. The laptop should have been recalled, and the keyboard swapped out entirely. My ultra-premium laptop never worked properly, even after it was repaired, and Apple never took ownership of the problem. Since then, Apple has improved its keyboard design, but I hated the way I was treated during that debacle. In fact, I have signed up to be part of a legal settlement for a class action lawsuit concerning the keyboard, with dispensation for users who had to get the keyboard fixed repeatedly. The keyboard was so bad, even after repairs it would often stop working. It was the MacBook with the terrible keyboard. It was the worst computer I’ve ever owned, and I almost swore off Apple for good.

I have another laptop, and I feel burned by Apple.Īfter continuously owning Mac computers since college, I sold my mid-2017 MacBook Pro last year. Why not splurge on a laptop? That’s where I have changed. It was the worst computer I’ve ever owned, and I almost swore off Apple for good I would need to do extra work to make it work, and that’s the opposite of what I need in a work machine. I can just barely get my job done on an iPad Pro, including Lightroom photo editing and all the back-end content management stuff (CMS) that editors use to make the web site run, but it wouldn’t be easy. It’s not, not for a professional workflow. I know that Apple pushed the idea that the iPad Pro is a computer. Or rather, nothing I would consider a computer. Nothing under $1,000 in the US, at least.

That’s not a bad price for an amazingly slim and portable laptop, but it still leaves Apple without a bargain portable.
