Wow, Apple lost a customer for life today.
My laptop screen broke for no apparent reason yesterday. Today I learn that the laptop is 60 days out of warranty. Sticker price $650 for repair (lol no).
When I got in contact with a 3rd party repair shop they let me know that Apple has hard blocked screen repair on newer models by locking the part ID to the motherboard. Oh and also the repair shop owner is currently being sued by apple and had the police and the local Apple manager banging on his door at 1am about a laptop.
Enough is enough. 🙄 I guess I have to find a loaner laptop to deliver my presentation next week (which is a Keynote file). Then I will be in the market for a linux laptop.
Any recommendations? I heard system76 was good.
