My 2017 Macbook Pro is five months old and the A, D, R, and T keys will lift right off with my fingers as I type.

I looked at them with a magnifying glass. The C-clamps that hold them in aren't broken. They just are stretched an extra micronanometer such that they don't hold the spoke anymore. It alone wastes a bunch of my time every minute as I have to fix the keys as I type a line of code, but the anger it provokes is even more distracting.

If I could go back in time five month ago, I would've simply bought a Macbook Air which still has the older keyboard. My previous computer was a 2014 Macbook Air and it's the best computer I've used. The battery lasted longer as well.

Another surprising quirk of the Macbook Pro is how hot it gets. I can't watch Netflix with it perched on my belly in bed like I did for three years with my Air.

It's comical how much I hate this computer. If I wasn't roughing it on minimal expenses in Mexico, I'd sell it and get a new Air. I'm glad I didn't sell my old Air because I guarantee inside of three months I'll be using it over this MBP. It just needs a new battery but there aren't any Apple stores here.

I had my E key lift off and just went to the store. They put a new one on.

I’ve had mine since it was released and haven’t had any issues, but what happened when you brought it into the Apple Store? Would assume they would be able too fix that right away versus other repair issues that can be quite involved.
