Why 15” MBP 2017 has less tilt angle than the 13” version?

I had them side by side and noticed that I can open the LCD on the 13” at wider angle (around 10 degrees more). How come?

Because Tim Cook cost saving Tiltgate!

Or because they use different cases and different internal design. Or maybe your 13" is broken.

I am sure that the 13" is not broken. The hindge is sturdy.
The 'b' key does double/triple typing or non-responsive though

My B key failed last week, unresponsive unless I press really hard on it. Should be getting it back today

It seems that b is a common key with issue.

I measured the lcd's tilt angle today. 13" MBP has a 41 degrees tilt angle while the 15" have a tilt angle of 44 degrees. It is such a small difference but it is noticeable.
