By that time the machine wasnвЂ™t working on battery at all, and the swelling was worse. The earliest available Apple Store appointment I could get was last night. And within a day of that, the battery started swelling. That quickly worsened to shutting down at 20%. The first symptom was the machine shutting down instantly, without any warning, when the battery was low. Battery failureД«ut last week a new fault occurred which left me no choice: a major battery problem. I have my key work apps and bookmarks set up on my MacBook Air, but I know from that experience that there are a zillion small things that will drive me nuts in the week IвЂ™m without the machine.

ItвЂ™s not that itвЂ™s impossible to be without it вЂ“ I managed before вЂ“ but it is a major hassle.

I tried an Authorized Apple Reseller, expecting them to be more flexible (diagnose the issue on one visit, then let me take it away and call me when they have the keyboard in so they can do the swap on a same-day basis), but nope. I called an Apple Store, and they told me theyвЂ™d need it for about five days, and thatвЂ™s a much bigger deal. I still have wanted to get it fixed, of course, but kept deferring it because being without my machine for the best part of a week would be such a pain. The CMD key and spacebar problems were less frequent, so I was fixing them with occasional hammering at them and less frequent compressed air treatment.

That would still have been enough to drive me to despair but for the second factor: Unshaky, a Mac utility that fixes double-presses. I only use the built-in keyboard when traveling, when mobile, and when using the Mac in another room.
