    in 5ish years when my Air starts to lag

    Or next year when you have literally any sort of hardware issue that Apple refuses to fix, or allow anyone else to fix, and tells you “tough shit, buy a new one”.

      It’s always a possibility of a hardware issue but I take that risk with any piece of equipment. My experience with my Apple products has been great! Obviously everybody’s experiences are different.

      My first Apple computer, a 2011 MacBook Pro, is still running and used regularly by my niece and nephews. The few times I’ve needed Genius Bar help on hardware it’s been fixed or replaced free of charge.

      Totally get that some people haven’t been as lucky and don’t like Apple or their products.

        No you don’t. You take that risk exclusively with Apple products.

        This isn’t about anyone’s personal experience.

        That product is from a bygone era where you could upgrade and repair your Apple devices very easily, like any other computer.

        Again, this is not about anyone’s personal experiences, and it’s not about what people “like”. This is about throwing buckets of cash at a company that repeatedly pisses in your face and tells you it’s raining. Apple has no respect for their customers, but their customers will continuously lick their boots regardless. It’s fucking sad and infuriating and people like you are responsible for the erosion of society as a whole.
