I will probably buy one, but not until my Macbook from 2016 with Debian breaks...
Wasn't 2016 the prime self-destructing keyboard year? How is that thing still working?
He'd reply, but his keyboard just broke.
The butterfly keyboard?
Maybe I have an early 2015 with a better technology... I don't know... The cable is terribly damaged, the 4 bottom pieces are gone, the screen is damaged by some window cleaning spray, ...
But rhe keyboard is still working.
Should be easy to differentiate. 2016 was the Touchbar year, born from macOS' continued toxic relationship with keyboard shortcuts.
In my experience, 2016 also marked when MBP keyboards got extraordinarily painful as the key travel is like 0.5mm and it felt like typing on a glass plate.
Ah, Debian says, it's a "MacBookPro12,1".
According to Apple, that means "early 2015"..
And yes, it does not have the touchbar.
Still working after all those years and I'm a level 99 power user. Used it 98% of the days since 2016 when I bought it. And I'm a software developer!!!
Oh, and in my list of broken things, I forgot to mention that the battery is also in a bad condition after 7 years, lol...
