You just need to care about Macbook. It's a luxury item after all. I made the same mistake treating my first Macbook as ordinary laptop. Of course it broke very quickly. Bad USB port, GPU issues, keyboard issues, broken SSD, broken audio port and so on.

I bought my second Macbook and I'm using mostly wireless accessoires to prevent port damage. I don't use its built-in keyboard and touchpad to prevent them from breaking. I don't disconnect it from power to prevent battery damage. I bought huge SSD (2TB) and don't fill it with data to prolong its life.

And you know what? It works wonders. This macbook works without hiccups for almost a year! Sure, I'll need to replace my Apple Keyboard soon, but that's just $250, not $5200.

Oh no, be careful. You should keep it in a dry clean room with external cooling, only ever run a stripped down minimalist, headless linux distro to avoid taxing the hardware too much. Only ever use it through SSH.

Instructions unclear, I updated to Catalina and half my software broke.

I hope this is sarcasm.
