I must be the oddball. My 2011 MBP just fried its logic board for the 3rd time yesterday. Didn't want to order an imac (a mac mini as powerful as an imac would be my choice) but I'm very soured on using macbooks for driving a large external display.

Well that only seems prodent, gold beeing soft and exspensive it is not a recomended material for baving purpusesI do believe that the road ahead is paved with more Tarmac than Gold.
you do realize the 2012 MBP was $999 not $1499, I know because I also bought one and it runs like a champ. Compare that to a $900 DellOMG? YOUR $1500 laptop WAS BETTER QUALITY THAN YOUR $900 LAPTOP? STOP THE PRESS!
How can you be satisfied about a computer that overheats like a madman when doing anything remotely CPU heavy with a 480p camera and just one connector?
If you compare it to other ultra portable machines, sure, aluminium beats plastic, but as a product on it's own it's a long way from being any good.
Honda is overrated mediocre to junk cars that people have been told they are "superior". They made glass transmissions for years (00-06) and denied it. They have some serious issues with their V6's and deny it. Sorry, Honda is overrated junk.
And there are plenty of old Saturns running around. Usually the original plastic paneled ones. The engine in them runs a long while and the body, well, being plastic tends to hold up well.
Honda's sales were down (contrast to most others which were up this month) in the USA in November:

The biggest takeaway from that article is that Gateway still exists.![]()
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT! I thought they closed their doors years ago!
... Only complaint I have is when on desk, the desk has to be near flat, else MacBook sits on less than four points of contact. It is an annoyance more so than a complaint...

My MacBook Pro has been a hot turd ever since installing El Capitan.

It is sort of amazing that Apple has never really taken gaming seriously. I have never really understood this oversight. But things can always change.... as they always do.
This is why in terms of periodic cost of ownership, Apple computers tend to be less expensive than Windows PCs. A Macbook will last 6+ years easily. How many Windows PCs bought 6 years ago (likely running Vista) are still chugging along as well as a 2009 Macbook of some kind? Divide the cost by the number of months of reliable service, and a Mac comes out like a great deal most of the time.
Unfortunately since Apple started soldering everything, I just don't think people will hold onto them for as long as before. And with the bump in compulsory upgrades at the time of purchase too...Yes, but most people think in the short term (with most things) and just see the sticker price.
Well I gotta say. Mac Pro 1,1. 2006 model.Put me down for a Macbook Air 13 inch, 41 trouble-free months!
Thank You Steve, Thank You Apple !!!!!!!!!!
Are they counting purely hardware reliability?
If so, it sounds like the most reliable Windows computer is a Macbook running boot camp.

In my experience, Macs ARE the best Windows computers. But maybe that's just me.
Wrong and false.Consumer Reports is great because they say MacBooks are good. Consumer Reports is irrelevant and nobody uses them when they don't recommend the iPhone.
with the existing repair program regarding 2011 MBP, you could request for a total replacement after the third repair.I must be the oddball.
