Mac Mondays - No, I don't need the new Macbook Pro
So Apple finally fixed the keyboard problems on the MacBook Pro. Based on all the videos and reviews I’ve seen so far, it seems like upgrading to this model is a no-brainer.
So what do I do with my 2017 13-inch MBP with Touch bar and butterfly keyboard?
Sell it? I would feel really bad selling this to someone knowing they could have a terrible time with this machine. This particular machine went through a screen replacement due to black horizontal lines that appeared on the lower edge, and keyboard replacement due to the butterfly keyboard issues that we all know by now.
I think the “morally” right thing to do is just keep this machine. It would be great if Apple offered a trade-in program for MBP models that has the butterfly keyboard, but they’d never do that.
So if I’m forced to keep this machine, I might as well wait for ARM Macs that has all-day battery life and cellular connectivity.
