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.
You have the glasstop trackpad? They’re relatively cheap and simple to install if not…
I do, it’s fine at best. doesn’t really come anywhere close to the Apple trackpads.
