"That's an opinion not a statement of fact." That is not accurate. The MBP keyboard, for example, is objectively worse, both ergonomically and due to quality control issues. https://9to5mac.com/2017/02/21/macbook-pro-keyboard-problems/ https://9to5mac.com/2017/02/21/macbook-pro-keyboard-problems... https://daringfireball.net/linked/2017/10/17/johnston-macbook-keyboard https://daringfireball.net/linked/2017/10/17/johnston-macboo... "The fact is that Mac sales are growing which contradicts your opinion." This is a non sequitur. Popularity is not a definitive measure of quality. Beyond that, Mac sales are down from 2015 in every single quarter.

You don’t understand what objective means. For example- everyone I know with one LOVES the new keyboard. Myself included: for me it’s the best laptop keyboard I’ve used, period. That alone tears your point apart but it’s also telling that you picked 2015 (one of the peak sales years for Macs in the last decade). You either deliberately intended to mislead or you just don’t actually understand how market fluctuations work.

  Anecdotal, but my brand new late 2016 Macbook Pro developed a stuck key within a few weeks of starting to use it. I only used it on my desk at work and didn't take it to the beach or something crazy. This is not an imaginary problem.

PC sales have stagnated since before 2015. Apple continues to gain market share, despite not increasing unit sales. Apple's Mac sales are around • 7% in worldwide units (up from 2% at it's nadir two decades ago) • 15-20% of worldwide PC revenues • >50% of the entire PC industry profits.
