Are Macbook Pro's a good buy with all the problems they've had?

[BoneDaddy]

Let's all of us who are satisfied with Apple, go to the PC websites and cry about that PC at the library that was too slow, 15 years ago.

Let's go complain about how that one PC laptop we never took care of, broke because we kept playing music off of it in the bathroom, while taking hot showers.

I swear, either some of you have zero common sense, or are some of the biggest crybabies.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go return my TV to Walmart because it's either too loud when I'm sleeping, or too dim when it's off. TV's they all suck...

Apple laptops are among the top most reliable ones

You'd be hard pressed to find any manufacturer without a 'legacy of issues'. As least MacBooks are not prone to setting themselves on fire unlike some Lenovos and Dells

What do you mean, or was that sarcasm? That link suggests they're middle of the pack out of those that were sampled. Their average selling price is also higher than those other brands, although I'm not controlling for models and configurations here. In my case I probably wouldn't touch another with discrete graphics. Not only have several models experienced problems, but my results with repair jobs have been terrible so far.

Look around you, everybody is telling you the same thing. Stop sticking your head in the sand and realise you're the problem.

I posted this already, but that user is a kid with likely aspergers. He posted a youtube video awhile ago, and if you follow the links you can find him playing a computer game on his mac, as well as trying to compare SSD speeds on different MacBooks (that have the same SSDs..).

The videos were very awkward, and he ends on a zoomed in image of him writing "Net Worth: $325,000" (or whatever the figure was).

Very awkward videos..
