Meh hasn’t happened yet but I’d just buy a new one. That being said, I always also have a windows and Linux machine, they’re just not my daily drivers.

You just didn’t get my point: in 2023 it’s about the environment at least for me. That’s why I wrote my comment. Just buying a new one is somehow dated imho. But ymmv

Nice part is that I have a warranty for hardware failures! The big issue I have initially is getting used to not having quite as much control over the OS level stuff like Linux, but I was avoiding even using my Linux laptop, so any improvement on usability will get me more productivity than having full control of every aspect of my computing. Maybe someday I’ll have time like I did when I was young, but until then I just prefer to have everything work together seamlessly, as things should in 2023. Apple offers that kind of support and service for a price I’m willing to pay.

Being an average Joe is fine with me.
