I don't want to repair my laptop either but I want to upgrade my laptop a year or two down the line. The modern laptop can go much further with a simple upgrade like RAM or SSD HD.
Apple's laptop is really limited in this way. The older generation of Apple's laptop allowed you to upgrade RAM and HD.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoApple is targeting the population that has no need for upgrades. Watching videos, browsing internet, sharing pictures and videos, video calling and basic spreadsheet/word processing needs no upgrades. I use a 2015 MacBook Air and I don’t need an upgrade, and I probably do more on my laptop than 80% of people.
- akoncius 5y agowell what about macbook pro series? professionals constantly WANT to have ability to upgrade devices down the road, but Apple simply denies it.
- fsflover 5y ago> Apple is targeting the population that has no need for upgrades. And also those who very frequently do backups, because restoring the data from a failed SSD would be problematic.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoYes, Apple is also probably not targeting the population of people who cannot backup to iCloud and also not backup regularly to a NAS or USB via Time Machine.
