I don't know what they do if you ask for a battery replacement or when something's wrong with the SSD, but changing a display on my 2011 MacBook Air was a matter of 20 minutes. I'd be very surprised if you couldn't at least replace the moherboard.
Which, by the way, is the only type of repair the other laptop manufacturers ever offered to me.
- meaty 14y agoThey probably replaced the lid assembly whereas most vendors you can replace the panel with little effort (I did it on my ThinkPad in 30 minutes with the wrong tools for the job :) Considering the SSD and battery have the shortest lifespan of all components I can't fathom why they decided to make them non replaceable. Even in worst case scenarios, it's a recyclers nightmare.
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoYou really don't have a clue what the rest of the OEMS are doing. Anything at the ultra book level is essentially two pieces. Your huge mega laptops are still user serviceable (like a bricky T class), but not say....a carbon.
- meaty 14y agoOh 100% I do. The best selling is the cheapest Chinese crap still, followed by the mega laptops followed by the ultrabooks. Outside Starbucks and excessively middle class areas, cheap is king.
