What is the lifespan of Macbook 2016?

I would like to know what is the normal duration in years of the Macbook 2016 A1706?


I have similar defects on similar machines.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.3

Hard to say. I have a 2012 MacBook Pro that still runs without issue, other than it no longer gets current updates. Macs in general appear to be reliable. Electronics do fail on occasion. What "defects" are you referring to?

Did they "fiddle with it" ??


--- or just dismiss you because they don't have parts.


if you have described the situation accuarately:


that it was working,

then you left it unplugged from power for 15 days,

Then you reconnected it out power and allowed it to slow charge for some time,

then Reset the SMC which requires religiously following the procedure in that article with EXACTLY the sequence described, and tried that multiple times,


and connected the power adapter and attempted to start up,

then it should be working as well as when you left it.
