They are, though.
I'm on my 4th MacBook and all have lasted me at least 5 years. The reason I upgrade them is to get more speed/specs, not because they stopped working, I even sold them and made back some small $$.
PS The touchbar thing was nonsense, I didn't jump on that, as well as other gimmicks. Still the MBP is a solid option.
- zamalek 4y agoThat's an anecdote. The GP comment indicated that they have seen this across an org, meaning more than a single sample.
- moralestapia 4y agoThe plural of anecdote is not data. I use my MBP 6-8 hours every. single. day. I plug two monitors to it and leave everything on 24/7 (I only dim the screen but never close it). I'm sure I put way more use into them than the average user. I once went close to two years without a restart. No other laptop I've owned has been as reliable as the MBPs. ... but yes this is still an anecdote.
- zamalek 4y ago> The plural of anecdote is not data. Of course not. An anecdote is bad data. A diverse sample is good data.
- arepublicadoceu 4y agoIs 5 years any kind of achievement? I’m currently running a generic hp laptop from 2012(?). Not a single issue. Just had to insert one more 8gb ram, to keep chrome happy, and change the ssd once. Everything else still works fine.
