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.
Eh, I’ve never bought one because I prefer windows but Mac’s aren’t shit, especially now with the M chips, and their longevity is unrivalled meaning their price works out being very good for their lifetime.
