- jen20 4y agoYes - quiet. The upshot is that such devices stop being theft target, so remain usable by the owner or a legitimate subsequent owner. I refuse to buy any expensive device without this feature. Your trolling disguised as moralizing is not particularly welcome.
- widowlark 4y agoIts not trolling, I find this design absolutely morally abhorrent. I dont buy new devices, I always buy used, and theres nothing more disgusting to me than a bricked but perfectly usable device. In the future there will be stacks and stacks of these m series macbooks, the owners will be long gone and no longer care what happens to them, and people who need them wont be able to use them, ever. Thats horrendous and not at all what I want from my technology.
- mannerheim 4y agoIf you buy it from the legitimate owner, they can transfer the ownership to you.
- widowlark 4y agoand if the legitimate owner is dead? What about if they simply also forgot the credentials? What about items that have been forgotten, or left in a drawer for some time? How about devices from a business that went bankrupt? what about donated school laptops?
