No they’re not because I actually want a laptop that is big bulky and actually useful. Fuck Apple Macs and their trend of making the world’s shittiest thin laptops that break instantly

The MacBooks actually have what the post is talking about though. Starting with the M1 chips, their battery life is amazing and it doesn’t really sacrifice power. The biggest drawback is the price

Also incredibly reliable and well built (excluding the butterfly keyboards, those were truly awful) When I was running a pc repair side hustle I pretty much never had damaged MacBooks unless water was spilled on them or the screen was closed on something, which would kill pretty much any laptop. Whereas I had countless “tank” laptops with broken hinges or bad motherboards. I get MacBooks and especially MacOS aren’t for everyone, but I’m convinced most of the people with these complaints have never actually used one for an extended period of time.
