The trackpad on my Macbook Air stopped working after 2.5 years. The Apple warranty in only 1 measly year. Apple wanted nearly £500 to fix it. Caveat emptor.

- hermitcrab 2y agoDid I upset the Apple fan boys?
- turtlebits 2y agoMost if not all consumer laptops have a baseline 1 year warranty. If it's too expensive to repair from the manufacturer, repair it yourself? $80 from ifixit.
- dannyw 2y agoGlad to be in Australia. M1 Air motherboard failed after close to 3 years. Went to the store, muttered the words "Australian Consumer Law" and "not of acceptable quality", repaired for free with no question. The M4 Air is A$1699 here, when you subtract the 10% GST (our prices include GST), that converts to US$967. So we're not even paying a premium (although Apple hedging against US tariffs may play a part).
