Research T2 Kernel panics before you buy.

I think the MBP forum is far more "active" compared to the MBA forum so it is early days. I noticed on Reddit someone has reported the keyboard issue already on the MBA but the MBA forum seems quiet on any issues (other than screen brightness).

Mind giving us a link to the reddit thread? I haven't seen any MBA keyboard complaints yet on reddit.

Holy Jeez...not even 2 weeks and it's started already. Thanks for the link. I was looking at mac/macbook/macbookair subreddits.

I saw another thread where someone had an issue on one key, then he updated to say it kind of fixed itself for him, then he updated again to say another 2/3 keys now have an issue, then he just returned it...

Long thread in the Pro area here on gen 3 KB failures.... Based on that thread I'd expect the exact same issues on the Air.

I’m pleasantly surprised this T2 issue hasn’t raised its head yet. Hopefully that’s a good sign.
