A guy who earns his money by repairing apple products, talking bad about apple products. I get it. Everything for the clicks and subscriptions on youtube.

While apple is known to be unfriendly for 3rd party repairs, the sad reality is that a lot of hardware vendors are going that way. Also, stating you will have to wait a couple of years to buy a M1 macbook makes 0 sense as by then the latest macbooks will have M<something> and the issues with 3rd party repairs wont be addressed in the hardware revisions of the M1 macbooks released now.

I upgraded and replaced the RAM, SSD, display and wifi card in my thinkpad. Wouldn’t have been able to do the same with a macbook.


Although thinkpads are particularly bad with their PCIe vendor whitelists.


Only for wifi. And you can unblock them at least in some models very easily.
