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’m definitely not trying to sell MacBooks or convince others of that.

      I just like them better then windows for general day to day use especially if you have a windows machine as a backup :)

      I loved the touchpad so much I only ever used that on my work laptops at the office or traveling. I also stopped using secondary monitors in lou of the extended desktops with the ease of swiping to a second, third or whatever all with a easy flick in the touchpad it became unnecessary to have an external monitor for 99% of the time (for me)

      I’m also a long time Linux user so being able to drop into a native shell is pretty nice

          I’d never call myself a Mac guy though :) I just like MacBooks haha.

          I have tried running various desktop Linux versions over the years, just never stuck with this.

          I ran Debian on my own server, then VPS for years. I currently run Rocky Linux on it.

          But windows definitely has a strangle hold on the market.
