Not a fan of the 2017 Macbook Pro keyboard!, (I've had to fight with one already

[kimmer]

We're putting a couple hundred 2017 Macbook Pro's out this summer in a new school and I can see why some people dislike the keyboard.  I had to zero one out and reimage and something seemed lacking in my ability to get it to boot off Command-Option-R.  I also didn't have a local recovery partition; maybe something to do with JAMF.  Anyway I hate the touch of these things and hope no one
tries to give me one!


Things could be worse; it could be a Windows 10 machine with the April 2018 update:

Not even a blue-screen of death!

I believe there is thought of a class-action suit against Apple for those keyboards. They are, apparently not too study. Search for "MBP", "butterfly", "keyboard", "problem" in some relevant combination.

Hey, I'm not sure Kimmer really wants credit for this post because I made it originally in the old TS!
