Apple Updates Air, Pro Laptops, Kills Off the MacBook

For your keyboard problems, just get it repaired. It's free under a four-year warranty, and it usually only takes one day: Just drop it off at an Apple store, and pick it back up the next day.

(Also, if you're a vim user, you should really remap Caps Lock to Esc. There's a pane in System Preferences for it, and it should be done whether or not you have a touch bar.)

Caps Lock is better remapped to CTRL in my opinion. However, with Vim I always use CTRL+] instead of ESC because I think it’s easier to reach.

Pretty sure that having a work laptop gone for a day is not an ideal situation for most people.

I'd also like to add that there's a chance they also swap out your battery during the keyboard repair.
