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.
