New Anti-Consumer MacBook Pros - Teardown And Repair Assessment - Apple Silicon M1/M2 - eviltoast

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 can’t stand their keyboards. The keys have virtually no travel on them, they’re all low profile, and for some insane reason that I can’t work out, because isn’t their core market supposed to be audio engineers and graphic artists, the keyboards have no buttons for bindable macros.

    Meanwhile I can get an excellent keyboard with decent travel and macro buttons for very little money. I get why the keyboards have to be low profile on laptops but why do they also have low profile keyboards for desktops? They are objectively the worst possible keyboard for a desktop. But they look sleek and modern so I guess that’s all that’s important. And because they are anti everything they are anti-choice, so I don’t get an alternate option, and have to buy an independent keyboard.
