Louis Rossmann claims that Apple products fail within two or three years of use. I have been managing a lot of Apple products in an office environment for over 25 years. We’ve had ONE Apple product fail in that entire time. ONE. . . And that was after seven years of continuous use and the hard drive failed. Rossmann doesn’t have a clue about longevity of productive use of Apple products. I’ve owned Apple products for over thirty years and all of them have been handed down to family members. Only one failed. That was a power supply that failed after over twelve years of use. I replaced the power supply and the computer came back to life.
I have other clients who use various makes of Windows computer and they are lucky if they get three to four years out of any one computer before it fails. Three is the average on a desktop. Two on a laptop.

You manage, Rossmann and his repair shop REPAIR units sent him by the public, in a lot cases AFTER Apple has quoted an unsuitable repair action or price.
It appears you are unaware of all this.

I suggest that you buy quality product next time; I’ve got PCs back to the 386 days, still operable although the hard disks age and need replacing.
I have found the Dell business-class Optiplex desktops and Latitude laptops to give long life (if not abused).
I tend to get five or more years per Win laptop (Lenovo T’s and W’s), and more than that on a desktop. And even when I decide I want something else, it’s not typically because the old one quit. And I’m typically buying them used off-lease besides.
