Indeed, they do it better. Apple drops support for old hardware comparatively quickly and incentivizing new purchases, while Windows has longer support lifecycles with usually (not always, before you get on me about TPMs) good support for old hardware, and it's especially long for Linux.
- Symbiote 3y agoWhen my colleagues return their average PCs to me after 4-5 years of use, they are almost always in a worse state than when Macs of the same age are returned. The cases are damaged or worn, the screen might flicker, ports may be broken. Software means the PC "seems slow". A PC costing as much as the Mac would fare better, but all Macs are high-quality hardware, and only a fraction of PCs. The average PC is discarded before the average Mac.
- Clamchop 3y agoI don't disagree* but it's mostly irrelevant for computers that don't travel much, which is desktops and honestly a lot of laptops, too. *Caveat, I can't agree or disagree with the claim that most PCs are discarded faster. We still have a software problem with Macs. I don't know.
