In my house we have 3 Macs: A MacBook (2007), a MacBook Pro (2009, the first unibody model) and a MacBook Air 11 (late 2012). The only hardware failure in all this time came from the MBA. The SSD got loose, but it was easy to fix. All of them still work fine. The MBP gets used daily. So that's 15 years of daily use with zero issues.
I dislike where macOS is going. In fact, 2/3 of my machines run Linux. But Apple hardware is pretty good, rugged and silent. I hate laptops that sound like hairdyers. I wish there were other manufacturers that had a similar focus on quality.
Perhaps Framework might be one to keep an eye on. Some ThinkPads are great, but they churn out way too many models and thus lack attention to detail. Plus, in EU sales and customer care have been outsourced. Prices are crazy and they are super hard to deal with.
