Is M1 MacBook Pro Logic Board Failure Common? - eviltoast

Had a 13 inch MBP M1 that recently turned off and never turned back on, unfortunately no AppleCare for this product but it was babied and really never left its desk for the most part.

I’m seeing this is pretty common with plenty of posts about Logic Board Failure.

Any way to gauge how common it is?

I understand Warranty only covers these things for 1 year but it will always be incredible to me that selling products for thousands that turn out to be bricks quite quickly has no additional consumer protections.

(Already bought a new MacBook to replace and added AppleCare this go around, but still just a bit wild to me that this device is bricked without another $700 into it, and even with that $700, would only then be covered for 90 days)

Thanks for any input!

    Working at a repair depot, no it’s not common at all unless it has had liquid or food spilled inside of it. They’re pretty reliable for the most part.
