What would cause such an expensive laptop's screen to fail? By failure I mean there are lines across the screen and weird colors on photos and videos. I brought it to an apple repair store and was told $850 to mail it in and then there may be additional charges. This computer was used very little for the first 2 years that I had it because I used my work computer a lot.

This was the first Mac I’ve purchased and at this point I will not buy another. Very disappointed.

I always recommend the AppleCare+ extended warranty. Without that you are hosed.

I would not spend any money on a 2018, the repair work is only warrantied for 90-days.

Your specific failure is most likely caused by an advanced scientific principle called ...

If you want a really substantial lesson how this this works (or more precisely how this stops working) own an older used automobile.
