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.
Unfortunately from my time on reddit the companies are spot on with this - I’d get mass downvoted for saying this same thing. Give me a 1.5cm thick phone with no camera bump and a 3 day battery! Saying that would result in dozens of weak-arse pansies saying that “anything over 200g is too heavy to hold” 🤣
