This. Apple done right is hyper productive. There are people who buy Apple for fashion (consumer) & those who use them up to produce things. I saw the FCP/Premiere performance thing & it didn't impact me (not a video editor) though I think about learning to edit from time to time. I like that you will make you own decision without regard to hype, choosing the results focused correct option. It's what I try to aim for.

I know Apple spends a lot of time (the most?) & money thinking about the future of video (screens/flash/itunes/hwood partnerships/fcp/Apple TV/Pixar/NextOS/Disney/Adobe/cameras/FT/patents). They want to own video.

Most of the dramas are clickbait & edge cases at large scale. The keyboard issue is not massive but is happening & is basically the equivalent to bricking your machine. A bluetooth keyboard or backup is cheap insurance to get back to work.

It's not busy but there are no real positive comments.

Personally, I have been thinking about having some metal keys made, would be cool while dealing with the issue (I wrote this on an 18MBP15 <1yr with 4 switched over keys).
