   The point remains; What I wrote about the Apples using a soldered on SSD drive   
   has been proven to be accurate. If the drive dies, the laptop dies with it.   
   They will not be able to get around this by booting and using external media.   
   They won't have the opportunity because the laptop won't be able to do it. The   
   laptop does effectively become a paperweight once the SSD is gone. Options for   
   repair are limited to specialized shops like what mine is with no guarantee   
   that I too would have to resort to doing the same thing as Apple - replace the   
   logic board. I do not have a markup on components like that.   
      
   Or going thru Apple to obtain a new logic board which would mean that you   
   mostly have a new laptop for a not low price. It would still have the same   
   wear and tear on the keyboard/touch pad, etc. The display would still have the   
   run hours it had prior to the replacement of the logic board.   
      
   Since I've proven that all of the statements I've written about the   
   paperweight effect are infact true, There's no point in continuing to humour   
   your commentary that never had much of anything to do with what I was stating   
   concerning the soldered SSD in the first place. I believe I've treated you   
   fairly in that I didn't ignore your efforts, I did respond. I have read your   
   followup but it looks like a harder effort to troll. imo. I'm not here for   
   that.   
      
   I think Alan should spend a little time and learn more about the machine they   
   use. The information I've shared with them increasing their knowledge level is   
   something that they should have already known years ago. imo. I hope they   
   perform regular backups for the data in which they care about.
