(Reuters) – Apple Inc said on Monday it would offer customers tools and know-how to repair and service their MacBook laptops at home, months after launching the service for iPhones.

Apple said genuine parts and service tools will be available starting Aug. 23. Customers can [buy the repair kits or rent](https://www.financedigest.com/buy-to-let-is-dead-long-live-build-to-rent.html "Buy to Let is dead, long live Build to Rent") it for one-time use for $49.

[Self repairs are possible only on MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models with the M1 chips](https://www.financedigest.com/upset-by-high-prices-gms-cruise-develops-its-own-chips-for-self-driving-cars.html "Upset by high prices, GM’s Cruise develops its own chips for self-driving cars").

In April, Apple launched self-repair services for select [iPhones models](https://www.financedigest.com/this-is-the-best-week-for-cash-savvy-iphone-fans-to-sell-their-6s-models.html "This is the best week for cash-savvy iPhone fans to sell their 6s models") in the United States, with plans to expand the service to Europe this year.

The development comes close on the heels of Apple agreeing to [pay $50 million](https://www.financedigest.com/sainsburys-pays-524-million-for-full-ownership-of-store-investment-vehicles.html "Sainsbury’s pays 4 million for full ownership of store investment vehicles") to settle a class-action lawsuit related to “butterfly” keyboards on some models of MacBook laptop.
