I’ve watched enough old Louis Rossmann videos to know their products are garbage. They might have good CPU but rest is designed and put together like a fresh turd

Are those videos around the 2016-2019 MacBooks? Because yeah, Apple massively dropped a bollock with those things.
But I’m at a point where I’m genuinely pondering whether a fully-specced 2015 MacBook Pro running Linux might be a great replacement for the M2 MacBook Air I currently use, once it dies on me, or Apple drop support (whichever comes first (which will be the dropped support, guaranteed)). I said in another comment on here that I still have a 2011 MacBook Pro at home, running Debian, still trucking along as well as the day I bought it. My home server is a 2014 Mac mini (also running Debian) that’s my Jellyfin/Navidrome/Grimmory/Lidarr/QBittorrent server, all with just 8gb of soldered RAM, drawing very little power while doing it.
Apple have many, many problems, but the build quality of their hardware ain’t one.

Yep, exactly that period. Repair vids from that of these MacBooks were how Louis grew into big well known youtuber with millions of views at some point.
