Hi,

I have been having problems with multiple MacBook pro’s (2016 Touch Bar with 16GB RAM)

All (3 of them) have been having the same problem; the keys start “sticking”, and it get’s worse when the MacBook goes warm.(I suspect it also makes the problem permanently worse every time it happens)

The first MacBook apple was kind enough to refund me, and i bought a new one.
The second one i returned on a 14days open return period, as i noticed the problem immediately.
the third (and current) MacBook was “fixed” about a month ago, but the problem is now starting to come back.

All of them have also felt “sluggish” in a minor, but still annoying way. ( e.g. I can’t “officially” complain about it, as it’s still “fast” but not what i expect it to be when switching between desktops etc.) I also have an old mid 2012 non-retina MacBook that i upgraded with an ssd and 8gb RAM, and it “feels” faster in the very light tasks (switching desktops, switching from pages to safari when both are already open, etc. )

So my question is; would there be any point in buying the 15’ , or does it have the same problems? I need a computer while the current one is getting fixed, but if the 15’ has the same problems, i might just go for an iMac instead….

(Worth noting that i have checked activity monitor 100times, and there is nothing to indicate any programs taking up resources enough to make the machines break. The most cpu-intensive programs i use are pycharm, webstorm, intellij idea and ghci)

Three times the same issue, contact apple support and see if they will give you a 2017 replacement by all reports the keyboards are less likely to be an issue.
