Apple laptops depreciate much slower.
I hope to delay a year or two the inevitable of having to buy a nicely specced Macbook, now that even the disk can no longer be upgraded, if I understand correctly.
I’ve administered several hundred Macs for a few years, and when they do break you’re at Apple’s mercy for turnaround. The business I worked for had surplus, so not that big a deal, but it would be a bitch for my personal business and life.
If all I need is parts then it’s a day max, or I can switch to whatever can run Fedora halfway decently.
Edit: throwing away laptops after 5 years won’t help us to live more in a more environment friendly way don’t u think?
