Considering all hard drives eventually break down, even SSDs, this makes Macs disposable products.
Eventually that SSD is going to fail, but by then five or six years have passed and they'll just tell you to buy a new Mac. I'm very happy with my Mac Mini m1, and I'll probably buy a MacBook Air when the next one comes out, but I'm doing this with the understanding this is not going to last forever.

- 999900000999 5y agoOh I want there to be aftermarket options, but how many exist for the Mac Mini m1? https://www.macrumors.com/2021/04/06/m1-mac-ram-and-ssd-upgrades-possible/ https://www.macrumors.com/2021/04/06/m1-mac-ram-and-ssd-upgr... Unless you have a soldering iron, you're stuck, this is so frustrating because it artificially limits the lifetime of an expensive product. Hypothetically would say my m1 Mac mini breaks down in 5 years, I strongly doubt Apple will replace the SSD out of the goodness of their heart.
