There was a Lenovo and an ASUS and an Acer in between but those all went in the graveyard pile before their second year was up and I had to keep resorting to the 2011 Macbook.
And that's counting the extra ~year I got out of the Lenovo after having to replace the fans.
Having user serviceable parts is nice but having parts that last 14 years is better. If there was a brand that did both, that's what I'd buy.

Later I switched to Lenovo when I got money and still no issues. Meanwhile all my mates with 2016-2018 era Macbooks have had endless issues, that they swore off ever buying Apple. Anecdotal stories can swing in both directions, that's not proof of anything.
