>A $800 macbook has far better build quality than any $500 Windows laptop
Took a peak at the apple store, there is no $800 Macbook for sale. So we're comparing, an older (used?) higher-end Macbook to a budget Windows laptop? Why not compare an older higher-end Windows laptop to an older Macbook? Why not compare a new $500 budget Windows laptop to a $500 used Macbook?
>Its Windows that's the issue for me. Having too many bad experiences and strong bias against Microsoft
You have a have a subjective preference - fine - we all do. So why pretend there is some objective measure here of Apple's superiority? Apple sells very expensive higher-end devices. The reality is that the quality of those devices is about on par with other devices in that class.

- HDThoreaun 4y agoTo be fair if we're talking about used you can get $1200 new windows laptops for $800 used too so not really a fair comparison.
- ask_b123 4y agoThat's true... I guess the argument that as a student you can get an M1 macbook air for 900 or that Mac minis start at 700 (non student) also wouldn't work (because minis aren't macbooks and not everyone is a student).
- macspoofing 4y agoComparing a refurb Macbook to a budget Windows laptop doesn't really show that Apple devices are of "higher quality" - which was the argument OP was trying to make.
