Burden of proof is properly on whoever insist it does. Thus far it has been just a marketing slogan. I have long found Apple products intolerable.

- zinekeller 5y agoWhile I don't use Apple products (as except to test websites in Safari), I've seen people genuinely delighted in their Apple products and despise the inconsistencies found in Windows and various Android devices. It may not be fit to your needs, but it doesn't mean that it will not fit to others. Similarly, I appreciate bulky but rugged laptops but you or others might not.
- ncmncm 5y agoI have always found MS Windows intolerable, too.

- ncmncm 5y agoBecause not working well is the natural, i.e. higher-entropy, condition. Actually working is evidence of time and effort meaningfully expended, of money spent and not just pocketed or squandered. It is not unlike the expectation that the toilet seat be left down, not up.
- phendrenad2 5y agoIt seems to me that any burden of proof would lie with the manufacturer, who must convince the consumer. When one consumer says "it works" and another consumer says "it doesn't work", then we're outside the usual burden-of-proof social dictates and we have to adopt new rules. Such as, I propose, both people need to bring evidence or expect to convince no one.
