You just replied to yourself.
It's unfair to compare macbook longevity with low-grade cheap hardware.
Compare Macbooks' longevity to ThinkPads or Dell Latitudes and now we're talking.
Seriously, I've been given a Dell Latitude 7390 at work and this thing is MARVELOUS. Had it had the trackpoint I'd be dumping my personal ThinkPad T440 and I'd be getting one of these. And on both the Latitude and the ThinkPad I get to upgrade ram, disk and battery if I want.
- nicbou 6y agoThis ignores the software aspect. My Macbook feels incredibly fast, but Windows tends to feel sluggish after a year or two. The hardware might last longer, but only if you have a need for it.
