No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple’s anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can’t even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don’t even own it.

    I just got an M2 MBP. In my personal experience it is very much not “shit”.

    Expensive and a PITA to fix? Quite possibly.

      Agreed. I work in computer simulations and their great. CPU is crazy fast, stays cool and silent. Battery life is solid.

      +1 apple products are very much not shit. Otherwise people wouldnt buy and use them as prolifically as they do.

      I started using Macbooks because the user experience on windows laptops sucks in comparison.
