I was thinking of taking it into an Apple store or can I fix it without going there?

The best build quality laptop I've ever touched.. All other laptops are plastic and horrible.

I have a desktop and iPad already.

Just pop the key cap off and inspect it. There could be something sticky or tacky that got underneath it and when you stroke the key it causes it to stick. If you don't see or feel anything then I'd proceed to take it in.

Don't be surprised if your iMac, if that's what you mean by desktop, starts having issues. I have one that I rarely used, I probably used it for less than a week. I recently noticed however that I can no longer adjust my tilt without it returning to it's lowest state all because Apple used black plastic washers instead of something made out of metal and they don't recognize it as a manufacturing defect.

I can attest to Apple's poor build quality, I've been around them my entire life, and my father has been around them since he bought the Apple II in the 70s. Albeit they are different and that's why my dad likes them and still has his entire collection dating from the 70s to today.
