Such inexpensive devices are also usually difficult to maintain and repair. <br><br>Basically, these devices are already characterised by manageable performance - and this does not increase with age. Particularly complicated designs and soldered components lead to a relatively large number of rejects.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-hb-accordion__section\" data-ht-blocks-accordion-block-state=\"closed\"><div class=\"wp-block-hb-accordion__title\"><span><strong>MacBooks<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-hb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"wp-block-hb-accordion__contentwrap\">Quite simply because the manufacturer of these devices cares very little about the fact that the devices can be repaired - and replacement material is extremely expensive.
