No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple's anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can't even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don't even own it.

I have m2 max provided by work. I would never pay for this piece of shit with great battery life.... if only out IT supported Linux, I would switch to framework in no time!

This is why I'm still rocking a 2012 MacBook pro that I've repaired several times

kinda sucks that no one makes hardware as good as Apple. with other laptops, there's always some sort of compromise. I have a ThinkPad and the keyboard is great, the screen is great, but the speakers are complete dogshit and the trackpad isn't all that good.
