The top case is the whole surface where the keyboard lies, and Mac laptop batteries also happen to be attached to the top case. If a single faulty key can't be fixed with compressed air or other methods, the entire "top case" of the laptop needs to be replaced. One of the examples brings me back to the keyboard. Sometimes, the tiniest problem, like replacing a single inexpensive part, actually means replacing a huge part of the laptop. In Apple's apparent quest to make thin gadgets, it also made repairs a lot more difficult and costly.
Funnily enough, even the latest 2019 laptops Apple released were prematurely included in the program before anyone had enough time to discover their keyboards were faulty.īut even then, even without keyboard issues, I wouldn't go as far as to say that Apple's recent thin laptops are more beautiful and better than any previous model. The company has set up a repair program specifically for faulty keyboards repairs. My colleague Ben Gilbert, who bought a 2018 MacBook Air when it was released in November, said he hasn't experienced any issues with his butterfly keyboard. To be fair, not every Mac owner with a butterfly keyboard has experienced issues. Imaine tryin to type "oole"with a defective "" key as a tech reporter. I even went to CES with the defective keyboard, which proved to be difficult. Here's an excerpt from my article with the affected words in bold:īut back in late 2017, I started ettin similar keyboard issues to those that others were reportin, including my colleaue Kif Leswin. I became so frustrated that I wrote an article without correcting typos from my phantom "G" key.
When I experienced issues with a phantom "G" key on the butterfly keyboard on my 2016 MacBook Pro, it deeply affected my workflow.
