Well, honestly, I've owned Apples for decades, and I was truly a fan, but between the touch bar madness and their lame repair policies, it's truly the EOL for me with it all. Thank goodness the Linux and Lenovo game has gotten so on point.
One benefit of their “lame” repair policy is that it protects resell values because you can generally be assured some back-alley repair shop didn’t use an inferior part or fix something with shoddy workmarkship. With three year AppleCare and good resell values, Macs are great values. Ever tried to sell a 5 year old Dell? Pretty much paperweights after a few years in terms of resell value.
