2016 MBP, reaching its end of life. Power cycles and unsafe shutdowns are worrying, not to mention the failed S.M.A.R.T. status. It has become almost unusable the last few months. I will purchase the new M2 MBP as soon as they release it.

Replace the SSD asap. It's not worth saving $80 to deal with the random IO lag well worn SSDs have.


Forgot to specify that I have the 15" model. So I would have to replace the entire main board since the SSD is soldered onto it...


Wow, the touchbar MacBooks from 2016 onward are literally disposable. Glad not to participate in that ecosystem!

Yeesh, did not realize Apple was this into making ewaste, but that is definitely their fetish.
