    If you see a generic looking product on Amazon or eBay by a brand whose name seems like it was created by a random name generator, it’s probably cheap Chinese junk. To be certain you can search up the product itself, most of the time sites like Aliexpress sell generic unbranded versions (for less money).

















  • You could sell it for way too much on ebay, those M1 Macbooks are still worth a fair bit. I recently tried to get a water damaged M1 Pro Macbook and people outbid me like crazy; went for 150€ in the end despite being almost certainly a total dud.

    Even ones without a working display go for 170€, which is far more than I’d pay for a fully working non-workstation laptop from that time…

    Edit: Just looked at the listing again and the water damaged M1 Pro went for 234€. According to the listing it sat around for 2 years after it stopped working from water damage. 234€.
