    LOL. Apple makes shoddy hardware but Apple fanboys have to find the blame somewhere else of course. Could never be Apple making a mistake. No no no, somebody else fucked up.

    Also, if Apple’s major defense is obfuscation, well…

      I’ve never heard that from anyone EE’s or ME’s in the industry. Overpriced, yes. Never heard the HW called low quality.

          Yup. TL;DW:

          • a common short can overvolt the CPU, causing instant death of the CPU
          • display cable breakage due to being too short, and Apple’s only official fix is to replace the whole assembly
          • butterfly keyboard sucked
          • charge mechanism isn’t easy to replace when it inevitably fails

          Those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head.
