Apple reports Q3 results

Similar story although I haven't purchased a macbook yet. Used to purchase laptops within the 500AUD range which would break or die within a year, decided to spend 1000AUD on a Asus zenbook and it's held up quite nicely over 3 years - only issue being the battery but that's expected.

Haven't spent anything close to a MBP but I know people still using the 2015 model and holding up nicely. I guess price sort of correlates to build quality? Although same can't be said for resale value.

I still quite happily daily drive (in reality, every other day or so) a 2011 MBA upgraded to 4 gigs of ram (came with 2). I have had to replace the battery with an aftermarket one once, and other than that it's been the best machine I've ever owned. I did not update to catlina however, I fear that may be a death knell

I am writing this from a 2013 Macbook Air. It works fine.

Same. Amazing how well it’s held up.

I did need to do a repair on the motherboard as it stopped charging but one repair after 7 years is crazy.
