This has been my experience also. It seems like Apple is delivering premium hardware and build quality -- they're certainly charging premium prices -- but in my family I can think of at least five show-stopping hardware failures with Apple products in the past few years, and zero such failures with a comparable number of Windows/Android devices. In addition, Apple's hardware specs no longer justify premium prices, in most cases.
With Apple these days (and especially for Macs) the simple fact is you're paying a high price for underwhelming hardware that's not especially reliable.
I still strongly prefer the Mac OS, so I can't see myself buying a Windows PC anytime soon, but I'm not a happy customer.
- Pigo 10y agoI can appreciate, and respect, a user who is honest about a preference. People who throw out "it just works" give you guys a bad name.

- WaltPurvis 10y agoI do use a Hackintosh for my desktop, but that's not really a viable option for the general public, and even for myself I'd prefer to just have Apple start selling decent desktops again.
- TheOneTrueKyle 10y agoYeah I agree. My 2010 MBP isn't going to last much longer and have no idea where to go after it dies.
