    Backups exist for all the important stuff and who even uses a spinny spinny crashy anymore? SSDs are incredibly fall resistant. Now Apple does make it difficult to recover data off a completely dead motherboard since in some models the storage is integrated, but it’d take a LOT of force to kill the motherboard. Not a drop from any usage height, it’d have to be out of a window on a fairly high floor.

    I’m also incredibly privileged in that I know several people who repair these things professionally (usually liquid damage) so I can get these motherboards repaired for cheap too. Rest of the laptop doesn’t matter much, you can always find a donor or 2 to rebuild. Lovely part of having fewer SKUs and more units shipped per SKU than most other manufacturers. I used to do this professionally and it was always easier with Macs because we were able to stock and catalog all the parts for all the models made in, at the time like previous 8 years. With non-Apple laptops, we only stocked parts for select super mainstream business models. Think Thinkpad T and X series only.
