First off, look we get it, you love Apple and that’s fine. Just don’t make comments of “oh, I don’t like them but let me make a bunch of easily disproven claims to make them seem perfect and amazing”.

Except now Windows is dropping support randomly for older CPUs, including many that would run Win11 easily, just because they can. So they’re honestly the same as Apple in that regard.

And they are all over 10 years old. Apple at best supports 7ish. This isn’t the brag you think it is.

They support the old architecture for several years, how’s that a bad thing?

Again, same answer. They are the shortest time supporter, and the highest cost.

They used to literally ship you parts with repair guides.

No, they didn’t. I’ve used Mac’s since the 80s, in the 90s, and have a 2009 MBP. No they didn’t. Never have.

Go find me a motherboard for 2012 Macbook Air 13".

Go find me one with a working CMOS battery. Those are soldered, non-replaceable. Again, I have a 2009 MBP, and even that can be replaced. And a quick eBay check will find the other motherboard.

Of course they do. Now go look at how much Google does of the same.

And go look at how much Google claims to do the opposite. Which one is better, the one who’s up front and honest, or the one who lies to your face?

Worst with the notable exceptions of Microsoft and Google.

Uh, huh… Again, which one is better, the one who’s up front and honest, or the one who lies to your face?
