MacBook Air logic board I have to change the logic board again, making this the 3rd logic board to be installed. Setting this issue aside, Apple will only guarantee the new one for 90 days. How can a hardware part, that costs $600, (almost half the price of a new MacBook Air) be under such a short warranty?

purchase date/model version of a "new" MacBook Pro? I received a "new" 13" MacBook Pro as a gift, purchased in December 2018-- my first, and purchased for me by someone who is not tech-savvy. Apple considers this MacBook Pro to be a 2017 model, identified based on Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports and from what I can tell, is not "compatible" with (not eligible to upgrade to) macOS Sonoma. It appears Apple support for Ventura (introduced October 2022) may end in October 2025? OTOH, a 2018 13" MacBook Pro is still "compatible" with (eligible to upgrade to) Sonoma, which was introduced September 2023, and likely will be supported for a year or more after my 2018 "new" 2017 MacBook Pro's OS is unsupported/security-vulnerable junk-- even longer if the true "2018s" (and later models built on the 2018 platform) are compatible with the macOS that replaces Sonoma. Shouldn't Apple provide a disclosure that makes sense to the average, non-tech-savvy consumer when selling older technology as "new"? Discovering this after the fact seems like a consumer "gotcha". Live and learn.

You can use whatever USB adapter you want to use without affecting the warranty.
