MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) complaint

Hi,


How do I make a complaint to apple about my laptop?

I have the MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports). I bought the model with the higher storage and memory. I'm so disappointed with this model. I purchased this model in late 2018.


  1. The keyboard is terrible - this is known
  2. Sometimes after closing the lid to my laptop and reopening it the laptop won't respond for a good 30 mins etc even though my laptop is plugged into the power and I've tried holding in the power button down
  3. It's slow despite using only half the CPU and having 50 GB free
  4. Heats up and uses fan easily despite not using many apps



MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

As for your fan issue try plugging the charger into the right side USB-C ports.


If you want community assistance with your issues, then run EtreCheck and post the report here using the "Additional Text" icon which looks like a piece of paper. You can also try booting into Safe Mode to see how the system performs. If it performs better, then it means you have some sort of software issue which the EtreCheck report would show us. The screen may flicker or flash while in Safe Mode due to the very limited graphics driver used.


Try an SMC reset and a PRAM reset.


Run the Apple Diagnostics. Also run Disk Utility First Aid on the SSD.


Also disconnect all external devices in case one of them is interfering with the functioning of the laptop.
