    One of my 2017 MacBook Pro died; it‘s one with the “Touch Bar.”

    That’s probably the worst Mac model I ever acquired. It had required repairs for the keyboard (more than once), the logic board, the track pad, charging issues, etc. Now it simply won’t turn on and won’t charge; probably due to some failure modes originating from the Touch Bar.

    This MacBook has been in service only for a little less than six years, so far it is the one that died the youngest among all my Macs. :man-shrugging:

        @Axtremus from everything I've read, it is, indeed, one of the worst Macs ever. The touchbar, though loved by some, was pretty much hated. Did yours have the ill-designed keyboard that was so problematic?

        I'm sure you have everything backed up. I suppose you could sell it for "parts only" on eBay.

        Sorry to hear of your travails.

        OTOH, my 2011 MacBook Air (11") is still working fine - it's dedicated to a Pianoteq device sitting atop my Roland.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          They generally last forever. My iPad version 1 is still going, although I have a 2 as well. My daughter's Macbook from I think 2008 was still going strong until the battery puffed.
