M1 Macbook Pro, about 4 months old, used for work which involves lots of file data volume, only 8G RAM so there's a lot of swapping going on. The lifetime percentage value is a bit worrying. Also the "unsafe shutdown count" is entirely due to hard crashes / blank screen of death that happen randomly every few weeks

That is pretty crazy, going by that, (and I know this isn't how it works), you have a projected total use of 5.5 years.

Due to the onboard SSD, the machine will be dead.
