No more new features for intel macs after 5 years. They will be dropped completely from security patches in 2028.

2028 is going to be another major opportunity to convert Mac users to Linux.

I rarely have trouble getting parts for laptops, especially batteries.

Then I don't buy consumer models, which are hot garbage.

I have a Lenovo laptop from 2012 that I just replaced a fan in...for $10. Two 2018 Dell laptops I recently replaced the keyboards and batteries, for about $20 each part (and upgraded the keyboards to back-lit too!).

Laptops aren't a great example of right-to-repair issues.
