 Tea and pentelobes - Zero
So, last night a full hot cup of tea decided to empty itself all over my 12 year old macbook air.

much panic, emergency mopping, reveals a completely dead PC. Wont charge either

So out comes my laptop repair toolkit, complete with pentelobe screw bits. Much disassembly, of tiny screws, connectors, boards and battery with the aid of my illuminated visionaid magnifying glasses qtips dialectric spray and switch cleaner We end up with a macbook that boots, a screen that works a trackpad that works but a dead keyboard.

So with that level of functionality I was able to connect a pc keyboard by usb, and backup all my files to an external drive because Its lifespan is almost certainly limited. A quick bit of shopping research bags me a new 2020 model M1 macbook air from costco for around £795 delivered.
