The 2 macbooks I've had shit the bed within 5 years and cost ~$2k each. Both have also required repairs, so add to the costs. The PC laptop and desktops I've purchased/built for under $1200 each have been running smoothly still (laptop for 5 years at ~$900, and a 10 and a 6 year desktop $1100-$1200), haven't required repairs, and don't see any need to upgrade their performance in the near future (tho an rtx 3090 would be nice for running certain ML models).
Yeah windows ui sucks, but the cost to performance ratio for the hardware is way better than an Apple laptop, especially if you build your own desktop. Not to mention, you can always use a linux drive or dual boot if windows ui is that much of a hassle.
- edmcnulty101 4y agoI disagree. There isn't a single PC manufacturer that comes close to the hardware of a Mac. I mean in touchpad technology ALONE you can't find anything even close. Cost to performance for a Mac is better amortized over time. Sure you can get some bargain basement i7 computer for half the price of a Mac but you will need to buy a new one in half the time of a Mac. Not to mention the unpleasant experience of fighting half ass designed interface peripherals which just reduces your quality of life if you're on a computer all day. And the unpleasant experience that is Windows with literal Ad's in the OS and a required registration with windows cloud for your OS to work....
