I used to be a hardcore PC enthusiast, all windows/linux, all machines overclocked, and rooted android phones with newest ROM.
I still own an overclocked pc that is too much for my needs. However, I now use an iphone and I am recommending apple products for family. Might get a macbook myself.
I remember spending few hours on linux trying to fix my printing issues. It was fun when I was bored, today I don't have the time to deal with that shit.
Apple hardware is relatively good. I have now replaced the battery in my moms dell laptop 2 times. My wife's 5 year old macbook runs like new and battery seems good. All my android phones always had weird issues. I used pure google, samsung and custom roms, with custom roms I "get it" why it was unstable.
Apple products have much higher resale value.
- entropicgravity 4y agoI'm halfway with you. Asus computers running linux mint (or your favorite flavour) stand up very well without having to deal with the multi-armed octopus that is Apple. Phone wise though, I've always been a pixel guy but my next phone will be an iphone, just because I don't trust Google any more not to be selling my soul to their advertisers and cutting off security updates after three years. That's like buying a car at the dealership but they refuse do any repairs after three years.

- patch_cable 4y agoI’m the same. I get paid to fix Linux issues at work. When I get home I enjoy using my devices to do non-IT things.
