My take is that the article is about this person's reliability issues with their MBP. Regardless of which party actually paid for the repairs, the fact that so many repairs/replacements were required doesn't speak well for Apple.
- ubermonkey 5y agoWell, maybe it does and maybe it doesn't. Literally every manufacturer of anything complex is going to have customers whose whole experience goes sideways for whatever reason. You can't take away from this story that "gee, Apple has a quality problem" if the broad market doesn't experience the same kinds of failures. Honestly, with this sequence of events one wonders if there's just something about this GUY. My experience is that Apple makes the best laptops I've ever used short of glory-days-of-IBM Thinkpads. Observed reliability in our org is that they perform DRASTICALLY better than equivalently high-end Dells or whatever.
- slantyyz 5y agoWell, at least Apple took care of that person. That is a way better experience than many of us who had the infamous early-2011 15" MBP with overheating issues had.
