#2Nice knowing that, in addition of three failing keys (u, i and o) and one failed speaker, I can also expect the display flex cable to fail. 2017 MBP that's been plagued with problems from the very beginning.

#3I regret not buying a stash of 2012 Macbook Pros and hoarding them for my own use.

#5That's the company that removed strain relievers from all their cabling with the very intention of making them break easier.
What did you people expect?

#6There are many examples of Apple never admitting design issues!
Beside what they are doing with their reputation and customers loyalty, I’m wondering how is it going to affect their engineering culture within the company itself.
They are very biased with their strategies in everything and they hardly change them. Same situation Microsoft was in some years ago.

#7Still waiting for Apple to make anything anywhere as good as the Pismo was. I've had hardware issues of one kind or another with every single laptop from them since then.

#9I have owned 3 Macbooks so far. And all 3 have had one of the speakers break. Am I just that unlucky?
Oh and yeah, what a diarrhea of a keyboard in the 2016 edition.

Ugh - I have one that also has a left failed speaker, which had previously crackled before giving out. A quick search on Reddit will find similar reports. Apple refuses to acknowledge the issue entirely.
