In MacBook Pro models before Apple silicon, the whole top case of the MacBook Pro had to be replaced if a speaker needed repair. That meant that a customer had to pay for replacing parts that didn’t need to be replaced,

For example, the 2024 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M4 chip is currently on sale for $200 off the list price at just $1399—the lowest price within the last 30 days on Amazon. The new 15-inch MacBook Air with an M3 chip is on sale for 20 percent off.
