It's been 5 long years of suffering since the original retina MacBook introduced the butterfly keyboard, but the day has finally come when the butterfly is dead! After years of fury and very little key travel Apple listened and stepped its game up with the 16 inch MacBook Pro and 2020 MacBook Air with Magic Keyboard. The problem is we still have 5 years of butterfly keyboards still out there, so are any of them worth buying? Are there any butterfly keyboard MacBooks that are still good? In this video we'll go into the history of the butterfly keyboard as well as talk about which ones are safe to buy!

All the butterfly keyboards sucked. I remember fanboys reviewing it, stating they are good - blinded fanboys.
I upgraded last year from a 2013 rMBP 13in to the base model with 256gb, so just for new keyboard plus double storage, without wifi6, 10th gen...no, I won’t upgrade. Maybe next year if they have a 14in with bezel-less model with all of this
Luke Miani Hi, I have a early 2015 MacBook Pro 13 inch. Great laptop. However, I would like to upgrade SSD as my current storage is almost full. Please could you recommend the best SSD to buy and where from? I’m in the U.K. thanks
they got hacked and didnt tell anyone for months. do not give them your money
I'll never buy one, but they have a secondary problem--non-upgradeable storage and RAM. Add that to the butterfly keyboard, and Nope.
2020 Apple made a working keyboard - crowd goes crazy...
its called "Innovation"
Butterfly is working too, actually
Gavril Mikhaylov Yes actually I have been using it since launch with the 2016 MacBook Pro 13” and still works perfectly 👌
Dániel Jaksi Me too, but 2017
The good part about the new keyboard is it combines what we liked about the butterfly keyboard and what we liked about the old keyboard.
So I bought the 2019 13 inch 256 gig MacBook Pro in November, and the E and shift key we’re just not clicking. And I could feel the switch broken because it felt as if there was a crumb in it. Anyway, I took it to the Apple store in December and during that time they had a program or something so they gave me an entirely new MacBook and I was like okay thank you, then they were like “oh we’re not done yet, we still owe you 215 bucks” and so they gave that to me and it left me in shock and I bought me some new AirPods Pro’s lol.
I am reading a lot of users mentioning that the problem is not just dust, but due to the problems being in the vast majority of times in the E key and may be related to heating, has anyone seen this too?
@@andybaldin5588 Heat has been a problem with this keyboard from the very start...they used impressive engineering tolerances, but seem to have forgotten that whole expansion/contraction thing.
@@andybaldin5588 I have been using for the past 4 years until recently a 2016 MacBook Pro 15. I use FCPX so the GPU and CPU have been hot over the lifespan, and it is 100% the heat that is killing these keyboards. The keys around the heatsink have broken down and have zero click or feel. My 7, 9, E, and W keys are unusable now.
- buy butterfly keyboard mac
- wait for it to break
- get a new mac & £215
- break new mac
- get a new mac & £215
- repeat until millionaire
I also have the exact same Mac, but I'm hoping it can be replaced with the brand new one that just came out. So how do I break the keyboard without them knowing that I did it 😂 the trade in value is only £412 which I think is ridiculous
Pretty much "it is horrible, but it is really not that bad. Just horrible."
Sounds like something he would say. (:
Until this very moment, I thought Luke's last name was Miami.
@space lapis Miani*
Miani is close. The n just needs one more arc.
Same
Bienvenido a Miani.
It's been Miami in my mind until he pronounced his own name at the end of some recent year videos.
I cleaned out my keyboard yesterday... 4 goldfish. It's incredible how quickly the buggers get in there
🐟
Elias Schmid Have you trout the new keyboard? Is it any better
I don’t understand why so many people hate the feel of it. I actually liked typing on it and I never had a problem with the keys
same.... they arent even bad they are fine... i have the 2019 macbook pro 13 and i love the keyboard.
I have the 2017 MacBook Pro and I also have never had problems with it. None of my friends have ever had problems with any butterfly keyboards either. Maybe we’re a lucky minority, but it seems weird that so many have problems with it. It is a slightly louder keyboard, but no laptop will have a quiet typing experience (like silent red switches)
I actually liked it except for two things -- it was too loud and it of course was faulty. but typing wise, i liked it.
I never had a problem with my butterfly keyboard Either, but sometimes, it gets kinda noisy typing on it
@@jadenngl because of the shit ammount of travel those who actually like these garbage keyboards are a the tiny minority' and these keyboard broke ALL the time
I actually love the feel of the 2019 butterfly keyboard after using it in the store for a few minutes. Unpopular opinion, but I vastly prefer it to my 2014 Macbook Air keyboard - it was instantly much faster and more satisfying to type on. Anecdotal evidence tells me that reliability is better than older generations, too - so my next computer will probably have a 4th gen butterfly keyboard!
The problem is once you own it for a while dust and dirt gets stuck under them causing all sorts of problems like double key strokes or strokes not registering, etc
@@TheSprti5 This is the issue that the 2019 variant supposedly completely rectified. That said, Apple do still include it in the repair program just in case, so at least you have that security anyway. I have a 2019 MacBook Air and have yet to have any issues 9 months after purchase... only time will tell.
@@Lewis.George yeah, I liked the feel, and felt like I typed more accurately, but the idea that it could fail deterred me from buying a 2019. I just did not want to have to deal with a replacement.
@@Lewis.George have you had issues with reliability yet? It’s been 2 years since your comment lol
@@leopoldbuttersstotch6060 I’m pleased to report no major issues! I had a crumb of some description in the space bar that a squirt of compressed air got out, but otherwise all good.
Just uncovered this channel, love the vidoes.
Amazing to have you here man!💪🏽
I’m in the minority of people who enjoy the butterfly keyboard
Bought a 2019 MacBook Pro I enjoy the low key travel
Magicninja HOW I BOUGHT A Razor GAMING KEYBOARD LOL
I enjoy butterfly so much as well, God if only this butterfly thing didn't have any design flaw
Love it. I have a macbook 12 inch since 2016 and i have never had a problem.
8:11 that was some awesome ASMR too. Thank you again for doing a "keyboard sound demonstration" and without talking over it. I have begged all other big youtubers to do this when they review new macs laptops. Some of us out here find this very useful and important.
I bought the absolute cheapest new MacBook Pro w/o touchbar in December 2016 because i got a really good deal on an open box. Honestly, I used that laptop daily for video and design for almost 3 years with no issue. Traveling thousands of miles across the U.S. and to Europe. I accidentally broke my keyboard later last year (honestly it was my fault) and Apple still replaced the upper and lower assembly for free. I loved that computer even for its flaws. I sold it to a friend and just bought the 16” pro. I can’t fully speak to their objective quality, but they have always taken care of me.
Personally, I don’t mind the Butterfly Keyboard. I have the 2019 MacBook Air and had one issue with it in a period of 8 months. The issue actually happened last week when my right shift key and my space bar stopped working. I immediately requested a repair and from the time they received it to the time I got it back, it was 34 hours. Now my keyboard is completely fine! Even in wake of COVID-19, they were so fast!
Got a 2019 MacBook Pro 13inch and actually love the keyboard. I swear the hole butterfly thing is overhyped by every TH-camr just repeating what they heard from others.
Except when you start getting double letters and you send your laptop to Apple to repair it but not actually repairing it and not having your laptop for 2 week stretches and having to repeat this cycle too many times.
i still have my 2016 13“ Macbook Pro with 1st gen Butterfly keys and never had any issues.
Same, my fingers glide on the keyboard it works perfectly.
Luckyy
RichtigerNoHand Same goes for me but ever since I got the 16 inch on my hands on, going back to butterfly keyboard felt inferior.
Same here but a 2017 MacBook Pro and it’s perfect as the day I bought it. Ive not taken any risks though I’ve got a separate wireless keyboard 😅
Great video and information Luke. I still use a 2013 13inch Macbook Pro as my daily driver, but with only 8GB of RAM I am thinking of getting a good used M1 MBP or Macbook air.
the 2019 is the most reliable so far
sing out in the dark does the macbook air 2019 have a butterfly keyboard?
@@beingniceiscool1158 yes it has.. just checked it on apple website
Satria Astawan okieokie thank uuuu
I had to send mine in for repair 2 days ago. It still has the issue lol
I got the top case replacement (new membrane etc) on my 2017 MacBook... It has been amazing thus far!! I still like the loud clack and key travel of the butterfly. Everyone can hate all they want, but the keyboard is good
IDK, but i really really like the butterfly keyboard (2018)
No issues on my end
I bought my 15" MacBook Pro in July of 2019 and have not had any major issues. Occasionally, some stuff gets under the keys and they don't click normally, but they get back to normal after some typical use. By far the best Mac I own. My brother on the other hand, went from a 12" MacBook, several keyboard replacements and full computer replacements to a 13" MacBook Pro in the process. It was a 2017 and had many issues and has lead Apple to give him a decently specced 2019 13" MacBook Pro which has been fine.
I have had my 2017 13" MacBook Pro for 3 years now and I've never had a problem with anything on the laptop
Cool.
I have no problems with my mbp 15 2018. It works well all this years.
There some rules - don't buy anything after relise - wait for 2 mounts.
Hey man love your video’s, helped me get my first MacBook pro
I liked the feel of the butterfly, but it definitely had some problems
like the most annoying sound
@@AlJey007 depends, some people like the clickiness. I prefer cherry mx blues and theyre hella clickly.
@@apaulogize it's not so good to have a really clicky keyboard of you are going to use it at work or school.
Nice iMac G3 I’m your pfp
@@apaulogize i prefer long term durable keyboard that i can slap. not with this fragile keyboard that get jammed from slight dust
I’m gonna be the odd one out and say I actually really enjoy the low profile, tactile and short-travel butterflykeyboard
Stegt flæsk æ
næh jeg kan også godt li dem ;)
I liked it. No issues through 3 versions and laptops with them.
Same I love it
For me it was okay but I would’ve preferred to have a regular scissor switch keyboard
I haven't had that many issues with it, but the typing experience is annoying
Paul White same I am using with the 2016 MacBook Pro and love it ❤️
Paul White I have it since launch and have been using it daily since then
Personally, I believe that if you have the 1st/2nd generation of the butterfly keyboard, then it is worth an upgrade. I have the 2019 model, and I have not have any trouble. I rather like the typing feel of it
I am still trying to get my 2019 MBP keyboard properly fixed, but at this point I just want them to replace it with a 2020 because the last time it was in to get "repaired" they just took off the key caps and blew air under them to dislodge dirt.
The fact that almost every key is fucking up is shite and needs to be fixed.
I bet your from some place in the uk or roi
It pays to complain, nicely. Tell them what you want and don't back down. Good chance you'll get what you want just to shut you up.
I have the 2018 13' pro model and it is amazing, the processor, the graphics, and the keyboard. I have never had any problem with its keyboard till now and it's going to be 12 months now. It is the same as new. I love typing on this one as it gives ASMR (I can swear on that). People just need to take a bit of care of the gadgets that literally serve them. Even if you don't get enough time to clean your MacBook, you can still avoid dust or spilling over cheetos on the keyboard!!
Still typing on my late 2009 MacBook with the good old sissorswitch keyboard.
Mercedes Fahrer 2008 aluminum is better 😈
Honestly 2018 and 2019 MacBooks after they added that silicone protective mesh under they key caps seem to work very well. My 15” 2018 MacBook Pro still works great
How’s it holding up now? Are you using a keyboard cover?
@@ralphreysupremo8734 Still works great, I don’t use any case or keyboard cover because I prefer the look of the MacBook without them. I had the top case replaced in 2021 under the free repair program for the caps lock key that sometimes would not register but in reality I was hoping something would because then I also got a free fresh battery too. I still have it though and use it daily and it still holds up
@@greylawson6352 Thanks and good to hear that. I recently got a used but still in excellent condition MBP 2018 15” you see. I’m using it for work because I find the M1 Macbook Air’s screen to be a tad small for prolonged use. This MBP 2018 15” came with a keyboard cover so I assume that the guy I bought it from always used with the cover on, hence it lasted this long without the keys having issues.
I just switched from the 2019 macbook pro to an M1 macbook air. Honestly, i preferred the Butterfly keys. They were just more firm and solid IMO. And the clicking sound while typing was more satisfying
im using a 2017 MacBook Pro pro that was refurbished by the backmarket and it still really good they replaced the keyboard and it feels amazing
Hello, how is going on with the keyboard?
@@ryanalencar the keyboard is still fine to this day, but i'm actually not using it as my daily driver anymore as I upgraded to the M2 MacBook Air. But I'm still using it as my backup laptop
I don't recommend any 2018 MacBooks with the butterfly keyboards. I bought my 2018 13" MacBook Pro new coming from a 2016 13" MacBook Pro. To date I have had 4 top case replacements and I am currently in the process of getting a CRU (Customer Replacement Unit) from apple. I would recommend just skipping ALL butterfly keyboards just to be safe. I will update my comment to let you know what replacement unit I end up with.
Love your videos! Watching you from Mexico :D
If you're really desperate to save that 200 dollars on the refurb, go for the 2019 "3.5" gen Butterfly with the material change, nothing else. There's some things I do miss about butterfly though, the keys each having individual LEDs rather than a light bleeding mesh under them looked more premium.
Never had any issues with the butterfly keyboard. Have a 2016 13" as my personal macbook and a 2020 16" as my company-issued laptop and actually prefer the keyboard of my 2016 😅
Luke, I have a 2018 MacBook Pro with the butterfly keyboard with the membrane. And I have had no issues thus far. But then, I’m not using it in environments where dirt and grime are an issue. But the price was right, the condition was excellent, and it has the i5, 16 gigs of RAM, and a 512 gig SSD. It’s been upgraded to Ventura. So here’s hoping, because I’m keeping it for a number of years. And I have no problem with the butterfly keyboard. Works fine to me.
How’s it holding up? Are you using a keyboard cover?
Hello, how is going on with the keyboard?
So far so good. The keyboard is holding up just fine.
@@JMCIII1957 Did you have some advice? I bought a Mac air 18, i'am afraid of have problems... Also my house have a lot of dust from construction.
@@ryanalencar Ryan, the only suggestion I can make based on my experience is to limit the time the computer sits exposed to the environment. Close the top when not in use, keep it in a bag/case. Maybe consider dry air blow cleaning the keyboard every so often (I have not had to do this, but it worth considering).
I'm late to the party but I had a 2018 MBA with the repeating key issue that of course became intolerable during the pandemic (which made repair quite difficult). I traded it in to Apple for $520 and purchased the M1 MBP base model. Worth it alone for the keyboard.
2018 macbook air and i really like the keyboard, never had an issue with it, and i use and type on it every day.
Thanks for covering all questions i had on my head
This video is so spot on Luke especially regarding avoiding ALL 12 inch models, couldn’t agree more - as a reseller I got a great deal on a 2016 m7 500GB MacBook which looked near brand new - paid just £270 without a charger.
I wanted to like it, i really did, but I just couldn’t. Hated the keyboard from the off and hilariously underpowered + the constant worry that it would cook itself to death or have a failed USB-C ruined it for me sold on a week later. It’s amazing how many immaculate but stone dead 12 inch MacBooks are out there already.
I bought one for 250 on eBay didn't really even want it and yes the keyboard was terrible. I got a 15 in from 2017 the keyboard doesn't seem to have any problems.
Thanks Luke!
Great video dude, I enjoyed it a lot. I don't plan to buy any computers with the butterfly keyboard. I am still using a wired keyboard on my computer because the feeling from these older keyboards is more solid then the newer keyboards. Glad the new MacBooks will all come with the new "Magic" keyboard. Thank you Luke for the work that you do.
It looks like I got lucky. I bought my Macbook Pro over 6 yrs ago before Apple switched to the Butterfly and it continues to work great. This is my first Macbook and I have never had a PC work so well this long. This wasn't a cheap laptop at all. I paid around $2000 for a CTO with 16GB RAM & i7 processor. I had to cheap out on the hard drive 256 and 13" screen. The 13" makes it extremely portable. Oh, I love the MagSafe connector. With two kids, it has saved my Mac on many occasions.
this is why I held off on getting any sort of MacBook but now that the 2020 MacBook Air is out I got it in gold and I love it.
The best contemporary Macintosh channel imo. Clicked immediately
Thanks Luke for this video, but it was LATE 2015 when the butterfly keyboard was introduced. I was scared cuz I was planning on buying a 2015 MacBook and my cousin said they were introduced in 2016. He had to clear it up for me.
Can confirm, bought a MacBook 12" in 2015. Had the top case replaced twice & the CPU died about a week ago.
Literally feels like typing on my microwave's control panel. Glad to see it gone.
Thanks, you described it perfectly!
When he said "My keyboard fell off, its gone!" I started dying😂💀💀😭
No issues with the keyboard on my old 2015 MacBook, or any of the MBPs I have owned since then. Just lucky, I guess. I really like my 2019 13" MBP.
I own a 12-inch 2015 gold MacBook and a 2017 MacBook Pro 13" without Touch Bar and I've never had any issues with the butterfly keyboards in the Macs I just mentioned. The only issue I've had was in the Magic Keyboard 2 where the ESC and 1 and 2 keys would stick.
I mean the most recent butterfly keyboard on my 2019 macbook air is quite good compared to the original 12 inch macbook. It's not an amazing Keyboard but it's alright
The dark age of keyboards is over
Still own the 2016 13’ MacBook Pro TB. I put a keyboard cover on it day one. The keys still works. The battery bricked....
The bad part is, Apple stores no longer carry the replacement parts necessary for repair of a faulty butterfly keyboard. It now takes 3-7 business days for this repair. Not worth getting a butterfly keyboard model. Currently stuck using windows while my mac is in for repairs. I'm definitely getting an M series mac when applecare runs out.
*bruh bruh imagine having a post 2016 MacBook Pro can’t be me*
I've got a 2015 12" Retina Macbook which I LOVE, and I (so far, knock on wood) haven't had that many issues with the keyboard. The keys that get stuck for me are the delete key, the power button, and "q." Whenever these keys get stuck I blow air on the area and then mash the key really hard over and over again until it's not stuck. In general I really don't hate this laptop at all, it's actually my favorite MacBook that Apple has come out with and I was so sad to see them discontinue it. At the hinge, it's only a hair thicker than my 2018 iPad Pro, and only weighs a little more. It was perfect for me as a daily driver because I have a huge gaming computer that I can't pack around. Also, the battery life on this thing even after 5 years is incredible.
I have a 2018 MBP 13, and that keyboard has been fine for me. I like typing on both that and my early 2015 MBP 13, which was the last generation of normal scissor-switch keys. The typing experience for each one is different, but I tend to type more consistently smoothly on the butterfly keyboard.
I brought my 2018 MacBook Pro to an Apple store 14 days ago for the keyboard repair program. They said 7-10 days. It's been 14 days and no word at all. Support site says "we are actively repairing your computer".
Tried calling...you get the At home advisors that can't help with the retail store.
Tried their Twitter support. They got back to me with, "your computer is currently being repaired"....Yeah...NO KIDDING!
WHERE IS MY COMPUTER!!!
8:13 best part starts here
I bought used MacBook Pro 2017 15 inch a year ago (late April), been using it for a year and i don't have any keyboard problems, and i adjusted to the shallow keys and i love it. I wasn't protecting it from a dust, i use it normally. I'm glad that it was originally bought in October, 2018, so i still have 2,5 (it had 3,5 when i bought) years of keyboard replacement coverage. It was top of the line CTO with i7 3.1Ghz (7920HQ), 16GB of RAM, Radeon Pro 560 GPU and 1TB SSD for $1900 with very light signs of wear. Honestly, apart for barely chipped left corner of display casing, and small scratches on the bottom of laptop and charger, it's like new. It came with original packaging and with Limited Warranty until late October, 2019 (as i said, i bought it on late April, 2019, so it has already ended by now).
7:30 “the 2015 retina MacBook that started this all, went: YIKES! And DIED” HAHAHAHAHABABAH LMFAO
I just keep my 2011 13 inch macbook pro, it has a 1tb ssd, a new and good battery, 16gb of ram and i don't do anything demanding on that machine and it runs mojave (and is capable to run catalina as well thanks to dosdude) pretty well! So i do not need to upgrade any time soon, the dual core i5 in it is strong enough for day to day tasks, and that keyboard is wonderfull to type on, but if its time to buy a new one in the future, i will keep this awesome advice in mind! Thanks Luke!
@LukeMiani should write a whole entire book of Macbook history including the change in specification, major problem/ complains and overall facts about each and every Macbook ever built. Pretty sure there would be money to come out of such a project!
got me a 2019 base 13" for 800. am very happy with my purchase
Now I’m frustrated because last year I bought an early 2015 13inch rMBP (pre butterfly kb) as a used computer because I needed to replace my OG 15inch rMBP from 2012. I refused to buy a butterfly equipped mbp. I wish Apple had addressed this issue a lot sooner.
You;ve just answered my question! Thank you!! Saved me eons of searching :)
Even your selection of background music is perfect 👌🏻😍 if I plan to buy a MacBook I just buy the 16 inch MacBook Pro
Well, i got a 2017 13in MacBook Pro (No Touchbar), but I got the keyboard and battery replaced last year after some keys stopped working. Laptop looks like new and even though the keyboard still feels kinda bad, it is working fine since a year and the new battery keeps up amazing!
Still using the 2015 MacBook 12”. And I honestly can say that this laptop is the best laptop I have ever owned or used. No, I don’t do very heavy stuff like video editing or graphic design on my Mac. I use is for administration, correspondence and online surfing but for those purposes it is a beautiful and fast laptop. No problems what so ever and the keyboard is working fine. Nice large keys and it doesn’t matter where I press it, it feels fantastic. To be fair, I have to say that I take good care of my MacBook. I clean it every couple of days, I don’t eat while I’m using the device and when I’m done, I close it and put it in a sleeve. It looks like it came out of the store a few hours a go. To sum it up: best laptop ever.....for me.
12:11 when mom walks in to see you using the poop sock and asks you what the heck you're doing
I got a 2019 15" MBP and I love it. I can type faster on that keyboard than any other. I keep it clean and I have no issues. I also take it everywhere.
Why do you have only 200k subs, you deserve way more with this quality!
My 2017 15" MacBook Pro just had the keyboard replaced. The new replacement keyboard feels better to type on than the original keyboard...
I actually loved the butterfly keyboard. I like how it’s not mushy and I feel like my fingers are popping the keys as I type. It honestly feels better to type. I’m on the 16inch MacBook now and I while I love it I miss the butterfly keyboard.
Am I only one who really liked typing on the butterfly keyboard?
Toby nope, I like it too
Toby yeah basically.
Me too. I love to type on it. Yeah its more louder then on my previous 2012, but on 2017 I love the typing and I have no problem with that keyboard.
i really hated it. when i was in a loud envirronment it was like typing on a wall since there is almost no keytravel and when u cant hear the keyboard noise while typing it feels worse
I have the 2019 version of it and I think its quite lovely to type on. I didn't like the 2016-2018 versions but they nailed the 2019 version of it
I have a 2017 13" MBP and although I always hated typing on it because I just don't like the butterfly keyboard because of the short travel, I never had any issues with it actually functioning. But I disliked typing on it so much that I haven't used it very much and all but gave up on using a personal computer. I just bought a 2021 16" M1 MBP and it is a dream to use compared to that and I am so glad the scissor mechanism has returned.
My dad bought a 2015 retina macbook, survived 5 years without a single repair
7:04 made me laugh so much
“it’s gone” i’m dead
Another great Luke Miani video.
My sister has a 2014 15” base i7 iris with the screen degradation issue. At 5 1/2 years old took it to an Apple store (bought it at a 3rd party retailer) because she was stupid and lived with the issue. Got told that with their service replacement programs they usually give a couple extra years coverage IF you bought it from Apple. However this is in the UK which I think is the law that the retailer has to cover 6 years for known product issues under consumer law. So if from the Uk and the device was purchased from Apple, it shouldn’t be a problem
Perfect video at the perfect time! Really what I needed, thanks!!
Awesome video, thank you, Luke! I had that patch-job silicone-skin covered butterfly keyboard MacBook Air 2019. I returned it after "typing" on it for 30 seconds! Like typing on a hardwood plank! That was January 2020. Today I received my refurbished M1 MacBook Air 2020 and it types like a dream! Better specs as well, obviously.
P.S. You have really beautiful eyes! x
I still can’t justifying replacing my 2016 Retina MacBook 12”. It’s so much lighter and portable than the MBA and it does everything I need to. Keyboard has been replaced once and it’s not the best, but still can’t find a reason to replace. Let’s wait out for the ARM MacBooks.
Hey luke nice video, I have a question, is it possible to exchange my MacBook Pro 13 inch butterfly key board with a new MacBook Pro 13 inch magic keyboard?
Actually, my 2018 13-inch MacBook Pro keyboard has never given me issues whatsoever, lucky me
I have 2017 12" x 2 MB, 13" MBP x 1 and none of them have issues. I'm waiting for new 16" MBP with WiFi 6 and better camera.
Got the 2018 15-inch couple of months ago. The price was right and it comes with Apple Care until August 2021.
I have MBP with butterfly keyboard back from 2018. It had issues with the keyboard. However, since I used the warranty Apple fixed it for me and I have no issues with it.
watching this made me grateful that i still keep my 2014 macbookpro...
ive never had issues with my butterfly keyboard, i have the 2017 macbook pro and i actually really like it. i think it really just depends how often you use it and how you look after it
When did you buy that 2017 macbook pro?

Macbook Air 2019, I love the keyboard, so far no issues.
I gave my 2018 MacBook Air to a friend last year. That laptop build was excellent. It’s still doing great. The butterfly keyboard was not that bad.
Hello, how is going on with the keyboard of ur friend?
@@ryanalencar its still working great. My fried uses that mac everyday
Do you have some advice? @@peat381low8
Thanks for this vid. Getting repeating keys and will try this on my 2018 MacBook Pro.
We did it boys! Butterfly is no more!
I really wanted to see Luke's video before buying a used Mac. I wasn't really satisfied with what other people say about Macs cause I've been watching Luke from his early days. I will go for the 2018 or 2019 I guess
don't forget if you're a student you can get a couple hundred off a new mac from apple visit the education store
i'm one of the lucky people to still be having a 2016 macbook that never had anything stuck. i use a keyboard cover most of the time tho unless im writing a paper where i need those satisfying clicks. typing on my 2016 vs on my sister's air 2019 is a different experience. it actually clicks pretty well, just a shame that a lot of macs had dust stuck in them
