keyboard MacBook Pro

Dear apple users, I am 14 years old and my parents gave me a new computer. I got a whopping MacBook Pro 2019 13 inch Touch Bar 2 thunderbolt 3 ports. they told me this is something I earned and it should last until university and later. I am super happy about this computer but with one concern. My concern is the keyboard. it is still a butterfly and I want to know do I need a keyboard cover. I looked and reviews told me that they are poor quality (the keyboard cover). should I buy one or am I good without one. I know the butterfly is very fragile.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13

2019 is the 3rd generation of Butterfly— so there have been improvements since its first release in 2016.


I can not recommend a keyboard cover— or any sleeve that will restrict airflow and cooling.



You have a one yr warranty out of the box, and added 2 years if you purchased the AppleCare extended warranty.


This machine is also covered if you should run into issue down the road:

I would just enjoy the new machine and use as you see fit.
