I've offered to help, but she doesn't want to mess with configuration. I've posted in other threads how she "fixed" it.

She actually bought one of those keyboard covers, cut off the touchbar part, and fixed it with tape.

She literally has a crappy piece of plastic on top of her keyboard that physically prevents here from accidentally touching the touchbar. A 10 dollar hack on a 2k$ machine.

I don't think she will buy an expensive Apple product, ever.




Agreed, it's terrible that that's required. At least it works for now, hopefully she can sell it and buy something much cheaper.


I have a Thinkpad Yoga 3rd gen with Linux that she loves, so she'll probably migrate to that.

I use my old macbook air 90% of the time, and the yoga so 10% of the time. So at least she gets to use it every now and then.


does it close properly and not damage the screen?


yes it does, she never removes it
