Logic board issues with M1?

Hi, yes I am pixxed too that 1,3 years old Mac book M1 got suddenly messed. Kernel panics, no go disk tooling, no go reinstall, no go firmware reivive. Too much time wasted as during every step machine just declined getting more and more unstable. Then, after waiting authorized service to return, month passed, they apologized that they have to still wait for the judgement of Apple. They possibly have to send the unit to Apple, this may take another month. Then, suddenly decision came to replace logic board, after the part appears. But cmoon. As no apple care, first fight with consumer rights, no replacement given, then nearly whole unit to send for studies. Clearly there is a serious issue with memory or ssd with or without Monterrey. Hash mismatch appearing at 12.2.1. Totally lost my trust to run business with that quality and speed of action.

If your company would be damaged by having to send a computer out for service, then:

Your disaster plan is inadequate.

Everyone knows you need backups of your data, files. but you also need a way to obtain computers (of some description) that can be pressed into service when one or more becomes unusable. That is a disaster, and you need to plan for it.

Computers with those chips did not exist a little over a year ago. You bought new technology, and Apple has stepped up and covered the early failures you experienced under warranty.

You are welcome to buy whatever devices you feel meet your needs, for whatever reasons you like.

But you are guest in Apple's house when you post here.

Apple has stepped up and covered the early failures you experienced under warranty.

Consumer products, their warranties, and their extended warranties work in a predictable way.

Warrant-able implies, but does not guarantee, High Quality:

Commercial product makers build high quality products. You can tell because the manufacturer is willing to stand by their products and repair or replace them (but only for defects in materials or workmanship) at manufacturers expense for a stated warranty period.

For Apple Macs in most countries, that period is one year. That is the total responsibility Apple or any manufacturer has to you under law. Assumptions about additional responsibility of Apple or any other commercial product-maker's products working longer than the warranty period are not accurate. The amount you paid for the product has no bearing on this. The rules are the same for a car costing US$20,000 or more.
