apple has always been a disposable product in my eyes. glued in batteries, insanely marked up proprietary peripherals....
if you cant afford the disposable nature of those very expensive things, well, youre not really their market.
apple has always been 'take it or leave it'. more people need to leave it

I would categorize it more as wear and tear rather than disposability, but I do agree that the nature of repairing a MacBook is only for a market that can afford it. Itâs much like repairing a car, either you continue repairing it, or you drive it to the ground and buy a new one.
As a software developer, I personally do find MacBooks to be more conducive to my profession, so while I wouldnât say I agree with âmore people need to leave itâ, I would say that we as customers should pick the product that suits our needs the most (apple or otherwise), which I believe is the original message in your comment (get the product that you can afford).
