Laptops Crashed - Global issue except Apple

Windows PC crashing all over. Meanwhile linux users: 😎

All laptops in my team are down. Apparently it's a global issue with Microsoft laptops - others also facing the same?

I purchased a MacBook 13 month ago. 2 weeks ago suddenly its audio system stopped working and getting auto reboot again and again, also it is not getting charged. I took it to the Service center and now they are telling me that its motherboard is damaged and its replacement cost is 75000 (40% of its actual price) . As it got damaged just 2 week after the 1 year warranty expiry date I have to pay 75000 to get it fixed.  After searching this issue on the net, It seems like this problem is pretty common and I can see a lot of posts regarding this motherboard failure in mac. Has anyone here faced this issue before or aware of this? It's very frustrating to spend 40% of laptop buy value just after 1 year to get it repaired.

I still have 10, never upgraded to 11 because this kinda random stuff always happens with latest builds, plus reinstalling software is a huge pain.

I installed the latest OS and my laptop is giving me the black screen since. Apple service center is asking for a 2.5k just for diagnosing the issue. Is it okay to go to a local repair shop? Any suggestions? I don’t have Apple Care.

Hello guys, I am facing issue while trying to shutdown the laptop using shutdown option in screen.Problem is after shutdown down it is getting restarted on its own.I had to hard press power button to avoid this ,but earlier this problem with restarting was not there. The OS(Sonoma) is updated. Has anyone faced similar issue or can tell how to remove this problem?

Joined a company recently and they gave me a shitty Linux laptop whose screen is just unbearable for me who is used to using Mac for past work experience. How to handle this? Before joining I presumed they would give Macs but they didn't.

I’ve got a MacBook given to me by employer. What should I do to keep it for personal use after I resign or it’s inevitable 🥹 Just asking because the laptop has got some insane configuration which Apple manufacturer only on custom orders
