The only reason I have Apple stuff is I'm expected to be able to support Apple products. The only impressive thing about their laptops is how long they are useable. They easily have a longer useful life out of the box than any Windows laptop I've used or worked on.
Their pricing is insanely stupid though.
Of course they last longer, they use weaker components that don't melt in such a thin casing.
That wasn't what I meant by longer life. Sure, they are using slower chips and other components but that's only part of the story. I have a mid-2012 MacBook Pro and other it didn't really feel its age until 2018.
If it was as simple as using weaker components, $500 laptops wouldn't be close to useless after just a few years. Every time I'm asked about laptops I tell them the same thing - buy according to your budget to replace it in 2-4 years.
Ok so basically you're just full of shit is what you're saying.
A faster laptop isnt going to somehow magically age faster than a much slower crapbook.
Also it is known that Apple purposefully put out updates to slow down their older hardware, mainly their iPhones.
