    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.
