> Mac laptops' screens are ultra brittle I'd be careful extending one anecdotal experience to an entire class of computers. Given how much scrutiny Apple goes under, for example the heat-gate fiasco on new iPhones and the many other "gate" events they have endured, I think that if this was widespread we would have heard about it. There were 26,000,000 macbooks and macs sold in 2022. You are using a sample size n=1 to extend to 26 million devices. In my anecdotal experience. I have never had a screen die on me or known someone who has had it happen. My family all has macbooks and I have had them for ~15 years. I've purchased about 5 personally over that time, averaging about 3 years per device. I have owned 4 additional macbooks through company device programs. I have watched ~30ish macbooks go through the hands of various family members over the same time period. I have never seen a screen just die randomly. My sister is terribly rough on computers and phones and she destroys computers but has started buying Macbooks because they are the only ones that last with her. So she has an opposite experience. That's not to say it doesn't happen. It is a tech product. I am sure it happened to you and has happened to others. But it isn't common. As ubiquitous as macbooks are, Apple would be under a lot of scrutiny if this happened to even 1% of their devices.
