hi I used to have a acer aspire from 2019, intel i3 10110u and und 620 graphics installed a 4gb ram stick and in total 8gb ram and 512gig ssd,

I installed ubuntu because it couldn't run windows properly and switched to ubuntu as my mentor suggested, it was almost 3years ago,

there were many problems on first like wifi glitch, performance problem also not having many apps and I admit I used Ai to help me use terminal for many kind of works

it wasn't slow but not snappier so I switched to Mac thinking just that the switch would just take some time (m4 15inch 24 512) BUT I WAS WRONG

it's been two days since using it and I am having anxiety like what if something breaks, what if it gets dent, what if a little dust goes inside it like I am paranoid, I bought this thinking it would go with my for 8 to 10 years at least but I am getting paranoid in every step

also the animations are good but I don't know how terminal works I miss the snappy feeling of low animation of linux

also I used to use that machine solely thinking of my work but now it's like I am getting no work done and majorly over thinking about this laptop

thanks for reading any suggestions?
thinking of buying apple care plus but I am a student don't have any way to make money in India, for 3 year it's like 250bucks here and I already pushed all the budget for this machine for longevity and I can't tell my parents to give me more, I am gonna start college next year and apple care plus has to be taken within 2months of purchase

hi i just ordered it and gemini said if the serial number matches with the invoice and the product then the specification written on the box matches with the device

but can they swap the memory or storage from within?

also will the delivery driver wait for me if i say i need to go to the apple logo and check the specification and ram and storage and battery cycle?

did you guys checked it before oepning?

also how would i know if it's previously activated like going to apple coverage website and with the serial number from left corner apple logo then general or about this mac then.....
