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.

    Except they’re not. They’re excellent products and since Apple silicon are actually half decent value in some cases.

      Except that they are. There is absolutely no value to anything they make. It’s all over priced proprietary crap.

      Apple products right now are almost entirely home use there’s almost no commercial industry anymore.

      Developers graphic design artists music producers most technology firms most offices like doctors and lawyers whatever don’t use Apple products. They’re almost exclusively windows.

      Literally the only thing keeping them in business right now is the iPhone. They don’t sell enough of any other product.

        honestly one of the reasons I use a macbook is because I interned for a tech company that handed out macbooks as standard-issue laptops.

        What world are you living on? Most of silicon valley use Mac. Most the professions you listed DO use Mac. Since Apple silicon, performance for price ratio beats most Windows options for most people.

          What world am I living on. Wow. No.

          Most of silicon valley does not run on apple.

          The delusion that your mind is under that makes you believe that performance to price is better with Apple you need a seat professional help.
