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.

None that I've met. But that's why they're apple. They get to control everything on their hardware.

But I'm happy running a framework 13 for a few business trips and I love it.

Battery is not too amazing. Hitting only about 5-6 hours rather than the 8-10 that I truly want.

I've used Macs for a while, but I'd take Frameworks over Macs now. The fun at the start of having a mac is not worth all the hassles that come down the line when things start failing and can't be fixed.
