Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry
etchinghillside@reddthat.com 3 weeks agoEvery failure I’ve gotten from an Apple product is the inevitable demise of the battery either through degradation to the point of uselessness or expanding and causing something else to come undone. So the components just need to keep outlasting those events.

Factory batteries are top tier and get you around 1000 charges, typically about five years. After that the battery is around 65% health and time to change out.
Apple is no different from other manufacturers in that respect, maybe better quality cells than most. They suck at making those changeable, lately. 2011-2017 Macbook Air is about a 5 minute job. MacBook Pro from certain years you just want to throw it in a lake, or scrape glue for ages.

Always the keyboard for me, for some reason. Almost never battery problems.

Tip to used laptop buyers: avoid the MacBook Pro from 2016 through early 2020. The keyboard design dies early and is expensive to replace.
