MacBook Hardware Reliability

My 2018 15" MacBook Pro has been used daily (since 2018) and still works great. I have never had a single issue with it.My M1 MacBook air has had a logic board replacement, and is currently getting a screen replacement because it shattered from the light pressure of my finger while adjusting the angle of the screen. Both of these issues seem to be very common across the internet.Before someone chimes in saying that I closed the lid on something and cracked the screen. No, It cracked

I would take it back. I had this problem in and older MBPr that had been in for a recent board replacement under Apple Care. Turned out the new board was actually faulty. They replaced it with a brand new machine again entirely under Apple Care.

I agree the reliability was a massive problem. I had to replace the keyboard (and thus logic board) for every one of those macbooks I owned until I started using a keyboard cover to prevent the issue (which Apple actually recommends against). No doubt after the 1 year warranty the keyboard would have failed again had I not upgraded on an annual basis.

I had it 2 times in 7 years os continuous use of the Macbook. It is very rare indeed.

same here.. 2009 MBP, screen replaced, motherboard replaced, swollen battery and after 3.5 years wouldn't boot anymore so I gave up on it. Must be bad luck but considering the price paid (and imagining what I would have paid if not having had the extended warranty) this wasn't exactly a nice experience with Apple and not in line at all with their commercials / global idea people have about it.. Esp. since it was my first product from them.

I had an 06 MacBook that was an absolute lemon. Had to bring it in for randomly turning off and go through two motherboard replacements before they sent it away for 4 weeks to redesign the motherboard. Then it still had to go back in several times before they finally just gave me a new one almost a year newer because of how troublesome it was. I don't think this is a sign of getting worse!(I now have a 2012 rMBP and absolutely love it)

The 2016+ 15" Macbook Pro is at least one very clear exception. Mine has had keyboard (which includes logic board) replaced several times. Screen replaced 3 times. Brand new replacement unit once. Now getting intermittent black screens every 5 mins or so. I paid for an Apple but I got a lemon.

What would you choose for a laptop? Seriously considering to jump ship as well, because my MacBook Pro 2016 got BOTH a flexgate[0] screen and a swollen battery[1] on the same MacBook, and yet Apple refused to fix them for free, because they found a little corrosion on the logic board and concluded it as a "liquid damage". I was not given the option to fix the logic board only and get the rest free. Tried to dispute but there was no such channel (expect the general feedback form <a href

I've been looking for a replacement laptop and this issue is making me look away from any future Macbooks.Does anyone have experience if the issue been resolved in more recent designs, or is this something Apple users are now expected to live with?

My first retina worked worked well for a few months. Until the screen started looking like it was being burnt by the keyboard (a now known factory defect)My second one, around a year later, had the same screen problem! Not only that, it had a logic board failure that took me months to resolve and left it practically unusable (random crashes etc). Three times to the mac store to sort this one and a multi week wait at the end for a new logic board.On both laptops: Wifi doesn't connec
