For the record, I use Mac and I like it that way.

    the machines are better value than Macs.

    In my personal experience, Apple laptops are far more durable than the crap Dell, Lenovo, etc are selling. Either way though I’m done with Apple and Microsoft. I doubt I’ll ever buy another computer that comes preinstalled with an OS.

      That’s a fair complaint - I think the manufacturing quality has taken a nose dive across the board. I had a computer for two months that had oddly poor performance underload before I checked and realized there was no thermal paste between the heatsink and the CPU. I think as computers become more commoditized the quality has been falling more and more.

      I also can’t really speak to comparative quality as I’ve never worked maintaining a fleet of computers - just personal devices - but I’d believe it that Macs had a lower defect rate… it’s more the design choices that I have an issue with.
