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.

    Unless you need a workflow for tasks like video editing with long timeline, virtual desktop workspaces is something that once you learn, there is no going back. I love GNOME for that, as its UI is somewhere between Windows and Mac, with a unique twist of its own.

    Its funny, how a lot of Mac users always have a Windows machine by the side. For me as a Debian user, Windows on a side SSD is necessary. We will never escape Windows, it seems… (눈_눈)

      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.
