I would not trust apple products. Self cracking display on laptop? Updates that slow down devices on purpose? no, thanks
Never had any issues on any of my macbooks and I've had them for over 5 years each. My 2012 mbp still runs as good as the day I got it!
I was referring mainly to newer models, the older line around 2012 was really good.
Didn't Apple get hit with a class action lawsuit over their 2011 Macbook Pros frying themselves?
You are right, I didn't know about this.
Fair enough, you're right they were great. Tbf everything up until the 2015 models were solid, as they were somewhat upgradable. Though, I've got a new M1 MAX and it's easily the best laptop I've ever owned!
Performance wise, sure… but I also believe that’s the model that, if you’re lucky, will fry itself to 100% uselessness, and make your data completely unrecoverable.
If you must use a MacBook, keep backups, and keep AppleCare on it. Just consider it your apple device subscription.
