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’ve got a framework 13. It’s not better than a Macbook except in terms of user-serviceability.
That said, I do really like the laptop. I just find myself reaching for my macbook especially due to the issue with battery life.
Ya maybe, but it’s not an Apple product and that alone makes it 10x better to me. It’s not surprising a new company with products you still need to be on a waiting list to get are not as refined as one of the largest companies on the planet with decades of history.
