I'm gonna post here, since it's related to X1E as well, but there's gonna be some Apple bashing as well. Reason I'm not posting in MBP subforum is because I really don't want any pc vs mac wars, they are boring and irrelevant.
As most of you know, I'm using X1E. But with X1E I
have to use mac as well. Because of iOS development. Now I used cloud for that, but when I'm out of office, it gets annoying and troublesome because of lousy internet connections. So my company issued me a brand new MBP 13", 2018 just 3 weeks ago. Nothing fancy, basic 256/8GB model. I don't use it as my primary device, so no need for vm's or anything of a sort. Just fire up Unity3D/Xcode and use it from time to time.
Now in those 3 weeks, I probably used it about 10 times the max.
And my spacebar is stuck. I tried compress air, I tried pushing hard on the key, well, nothing worked. So one more MBP for Apple to fix. Nice.
Meanwhile, my X1E is running strong as it should. No issues what so ever. It's built like a tank, and behaves like one. My wife just recently dropped her X1C on the wooden floor in our apartment. It damaged the floor really bad, but X1C? Not even a slightest scuff. I can take a picture of the parquet if there is any doubt in your mind about it. No need to take the X1C picture at all, because it will show nothing
It's a sad time to use a MBP. My final solution to the issue is returning MBP, and trying to convince my company to get me mac mini. With MBP I would still have to bring external keyboard with me, and I have to bring power adapter any way. So why not mac mini? It's even easier to carry, it's small, light and no power adapter needed.
I really hope that Apple can get their heads out of their own a***s. But somehow I doubt it. They are using butterfly since 2015, and still no sign on them giving up on this POS.
