My old MacBook was first too shiny and new to put stickers on, then it lived so long that I didn't want to waste stickers on a machine that I'd need to retire. It made it ten years before having weird bootloop issues.
To try to counteract my own neuroses I went sticker mad on its replacement immediately. It also helps with easily telling which way is up at a glance (I don't know how many times I had to rotate the old one when I went to open it).
You know, aside from the i9 MacBook pros, these are really resilient machines that will last quite a while. They don’t deserve the hate they get. They easily outlast gamer laptops that bake themselves to death.
The butterfly keyboard models are definitely not included in that statement, but all other models yes they'll live forever. BUT i also have a bunch of old laptops from other companies that live forever running linux
Oof, I forgot about the damn butterfly keyboards. Apple really shit the bed with those.
