Fanboyness is very very strong on you! Such stupid, no-brainer, arrogant and autistic argument - Sound narcissistic. You're not the World!
Way to ignore all my arguments and just call me autistic. Real mature.
Because that argument is stupid.
Again, just call something stupid without explaining it. That's really smart.
The reason it's not stupid is that you have a lot or non-reparable things in your household. And some things are just better that way. If you could open everything up and tinker with it, all these modern designs wouldn't exist that you like so much. You have no idea how much tech is stuffed in a modern MacBook Pro in such a small space. If you would just use screws for everything instead of glue and solder, you'd have a much thicker and uglier machine. And for what? There's literally no sense in being paranoid that your phone will go off in flames for no good reason. How many people with modern electronics like phones experience that? You're not actually saving the planet with your paranoia.
I can post a dozen of Louis's videos that prove otherwise. Here's one where a MacBook mainboard component literally caught fire for no good reason
That doesn't prove anything. His videos are clickbait trash for people like you who hate anything with an Apple logo. Every video starts with some edgy joke about how you should never buy Apple although like 99.9% of his viewers probably never even owned an Apple product. Like I said in the argument that just got ignored by most here, electronics don't just break for no reason, they're HIGHLY reliable in the grand scheme of things. You post three broken Mac examples from some guy who repairs them and call this proof against what I say? NASA's Opportunity rover was expected by NASA to last 90 days on Mars but it exceeded that prediction by 16 years, 57 days and was fully functional up until that point, surviving countless sandstorms and radiation. That's the kind of toughness you expect from electronics. It's not a mechanical watch with moving and fragile parts, it's just not even the same species..
And that is exactly my own experience. I never had a phone just die for no reason, I dropped and crashed my phones on the ground. I dropped laptops to the ground and they worked fine. The worst than can happen are scuffs and scratches or a screen replacement. But really, if you're worried about cosmetics, just don't drop it. I used to lose my hats all the time as a kid but then I just learned not to lose them and now I haven't lost one in over 20 years. And you can learn not to drop s**t if you don't want scratches or broken glass, it's that easy.
So being a jack**s means you don't have the right to repair it yourself; or have someone repair it for you, who won't charge you a ridiculous amount of money?
Got it - it's about control. About removing user choice.
Right to repair is the stupidest name for it. Of course you have the right to repair yourself. You bought it! You can go out and become an expert and literally repair everything yourself. Louis can do it, so why can't you? I don't get that whining. You mean you don't get to keep your warranty, if you tinker with it yourself? That's a whole different argument and it's still silly to expect. But they can't literally stop you from repairing anything yourself, so have the right to repair, there you go! I just gave it to you. Maybe ask for something more specific next time or maybe tell Louis Rossmann who seems to be at the forefront of this argument. But then again, how would he make his money?
CHEAP? Where? Real world send HELLO iSlave!
Probably, battery cost is around $30-40 for macbook pro 15 and less than $30 for macbook air - based on teardown/production cost websites.
This is your first post, so I'll give you a pass. Here's the real world: you only need to replace a battery on your laptop maybe once in its lifetime. 100$ where the manufacturer does it for you properly and sends it back and recycles your old battery is chump change compared to the cost of some of those MacBooks. That's really cheap actually and only has to be done once. Yea, real world my ass.
Broken wall? buy a new home! Broken car? buy a new one! Broken TV controller? BUY a NEW TV! Nice logic, for real!
Laptop stand for UPGRADABLE RAM & STORAGE!
The cry is not free, pay me!
I already made the argument for some things like PCs for editing and servers being repairable. Obviously cars too. But once cars become electric I don't see much of a reason. Like I don't see a reason for making it easy to replace the LED light bulbs in my desk lamp that's rated at 20 years lifespan! I know those thing will never go out after 3 months like old incandescent light bulbs, can you just except that at least? Now I can also just enjoy the thin, minimalist design. Because you know what, I know I won't need to replace that light bulb, so I don't care about it being non-replaceable. These light bulbs won't even exist in 20 years... They could make it replaceable and add a different cover and more screws and some more materials to make it safe to stick your hands in there, but that would be just a waste of those materials you're so afraid of wasting. Yea, I don't get how people can be so paranoid about their electronics. Maybe Louis Rossmann has something to say about it.
And the upgradability argument... Upgrade your RAM, updgrade your Storage on a laptop. Sure, OR just buy what you NEED in the first place. It's a laptop! Like if you're buying an i3 then you probably will never need 32GB or 8TB or storage. It's a laptop! Just buy a balanced system in the first place. Simply don't buy a 10-core processor in your laptop and only 8GB of RAM. It's a laptop! If you really need 64GB RAM, you're not the type of user who asks "do I need this upfront"? It's a laptop! Maybe kind of get what I'm saying here? Please, do your research up front before buying a $ 3k+ machine. And keep in mind, it's still just a laptop!
Autistic isn't an insult. He should have probably left out stupid, no-brainer, and arrogant though.
