Unlike many here who have their own shop, I'm a contract worker jumping around larger corporate customers configuration & fixing their equipment.
Presently I service three large customers winding down from eight.
My largest is in the process of converting from Mac to HP laptop systems as they require USB-A ports in their systems for security key dongle's and other devices which prohibit the use of USB-A to USB-C conversion dongle's.
I will be starting up a mail-in service for MacBook's & MacBook Pro's beginning in 2018.

The trick is not to over wear the flash! You need to keep enough free space for the drive to breathe! My rule of thumb is a 128 GB or smaller needs 1/3 of the space left unused. A 256 to 512 GB 1/4 free, the larger 1 & 2 TB drives only need 1/8th free.
Sadly, no Apple doesn’t offer a silver case and the older 2014 system is different enough that it won’t work.
Yes, an external wired speaker or headphones will work. Most people are likely to go with a Bluetooth set.
That makes little sense!
