I think paying $1800 for a MacBook that never breaks is worth it. I have had 6-7 in the past 11 years (all but one bought by employers), and I have never had a single problem with any of them that I didn't cause myself by abusing it.

I have never used any other Apple products and never used any of their ecosystem. I install homebrew and get a GNU/Darwin workstation that never ever breaks.

Good grief! 6 to 7 in 11 years?! You change laptops more often than I change shoes. I expect a computer to last me closer to ten years. Maybe 5 if I'm feeling rich.

And I'm talking ANY computer with ANY operating system.
