    Should I wait with keyboard replacement on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)

    Hello everyone, I am totally not sure if I should or should not have my keyboard replaced, before the 3 years pass by and the possibility is gone.

    Very discouraging—spacebar jammed on my brand new $1600 MBA 2018; they are quick to repair, but truly costs me hours to go to the store, erase and reload all applications. My last MacBook 12” had to be sent in twice. They don’t even offer a backup computer while I wait. Clearly the 3rd gen...
