It was more than that, pretty much everything between late 2014 and late 2018 is just... not really usable as a daily driver. Luckily they fixed the keyboard and quit stringing Intel along under the pretense that they could "make things work" by modifying ACPI tables, but I don't think I'll ever be truly comfortable using a Mac until I can drop one at waist-height and not be down $2000. Different strokes for different folks though, of course.
I carried my MacBook in my motorcycle luggage for over 40,000km, and I dropped it from waist height at the airport. It's still running smoothly.
The only issue is the keyboard, which is now on its third replacement. The extended replacement program ran out last year, but they still replace keys for free.
This is a 2017 MacBook. They upgraded my 2012 model for the price of a battery swap because the 2012 parts were out of stock. In other words, I've been going for 10 years on the same laptop purchase.
They're not perfect laptops, but they're still the best ROI I've had on a laptop, and far better than any laptop I've had before.
