Fact is, no one here or every where knows the fail rate. But as everything with Apple people like to make loud noise since it's creat clicks and views.

Well at least they finally admitted it and took out the financial risk but if you're looking for a decent laptop in  2018, the rational choice is still a 2015 macbook pro, unless you don't really need a very good display, in which case a Macbook air is fine.

Whether a newer machine is faster thanks to a better processor, graphics card and such is irrelevant to Apple's target: the busy exec who needs something that just works, isn't such a huge security risk, and doesn't imply endless trips to the IT dept, if they have one; so not just Apple zealots.

If you can do with an "ok" display you can get acceptable hardware and slap on a Linux distro for about $500.

It's actually even better than this.

Not only do they still sell a product that they officialy recognized as being defective, but (as usual with apple) they're selling it full price for outdated 1 year old hardware.

That company really is an overpriced joke

Well there are people buying it so it's not the company that's a joke. It takes a lot of effort to reach their place and have loyal customers despite such major problems with design.
