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.

      +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.

          Let’s start with sleep mode not actually sleeping about 50% of the time and turning my backpack into an oven and killing the battery whenever it does?

          I wish Mac laptops were crap but they function so much better than windows laptops in so many little ways I find myself having a hard time justifying fighting windows laptops anymore.

            Modern standby fucking sucks, luckily my laptop is from before that existed (and it runs linux but that’s besides the point)

            IDK, I’ve had exactly the same problem with my work MBP. I was late to something and the computer locked up, so as soon as I got some level of control I put it to sleep and it seemed to sleep. An hour later and the fan was going crazy and it was super hot.

            It doesn’t happen a lot, but macOS isn’t immune to stupid issues like that. I’ve had far more hard crashes with macOS than I have with Linux.

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