For what it’s worth, my current and previous two MacBook Pros have run for five to six years each with zero repairs. The machines silently upgrade themselves in the background with no user intervention other than making sure they are plugged into an outlet.
I’ve used many different brands of PCs and definitely feel your pain.
I was at DMV a couple days ago renewing my driver license and the Windows PC crashed when I scanned my thumbprint!
My 12 year old Dell laptop is still running. I had to replace the keyboard and install linux on it. A tad slow for these days but it works.
Yes, the Apple Borg Hive brain has you covered so long as you have a connection through which they can control your system. :)
I have yet to have a PC breakdown on me. And I’ve used just about every brand out there, including HPs and Dells and Asus and Acer and even IBM when they were around, and others.
My PCs get retired, not because they don’t work or break down; the only reason that I retire my PCs, is because of the OSes getting upgraded to the point where my Pcs are no longer compatible or slow down to the point they become unusable. Guess I must just be very lucky. BTW, I still have a Pentium 3 and a Pentium 4 PC around, though just collecting dust; hated to just trash them, but I will soon.
Dell’s like any computer lasts a long time until you take them into the shower. My stepson has problems with cars, some people have problems with computers.
