I am the opposite. I've regretted every Apple computer purchase I've made. Their phones are well made
- iBook g4 12 inch. GPU died. Known fault.
- Mac mini. Ended up using this as a build machine for iOS. Had to replace the hardrive outside warranty. Took me about 2 hours to do. Now is running Debian and is a Minecraft server.
- Macbook Pro 2014 - dead. Glue'd on battery, ended up paying a local Mac repair guy to do the job. A year later The power brick (official) burned out the power lines on the motherboard.
Now the PC laptops are all still running.
- Dell E6410 - still works, Debian 13.
- Dell D-series - still works, window xp 64bit
- Thinkpad T480 - still works Debian 13.
The non apple hardware I can normally repair myself and thus I can keep it running forever.
