    no, not that many companies solder the SSD. The RAM? yeah, it’s widespread now. But you can still find laptops with upgradeable RAM. The SSD has been replaceable in most laptops.

    And yes, the 8GB RAM is very relevant to the discussion, because for the same price every other manufacturer is offering at the very least 16GB, in most cases 32GB and in some 64GB.

    8GB macbooks will be rendered obsolete way sooner than 16GB laptops. That’s ewaste for you.

    they are also not the worst

    I’d argue that they are very close to that title, given their marketshare.

    Sure, you have years of software support. Great. Did the hardware survive that long? Do you need any repair? Because they won’t allow third party spare parts so it would be a shame if you needed one.

    Also, the software support desktop, Linux has not a limited amount of years of support, it could revive perfectly good hardware that Apple doesn’t support anymore and they deliberately make it difficult to install.
