A lot of Apple fans say this, but I find many components in Apple products in general to be of average to poor build quality. Keyboards, display hinges, CPU/GPU cooling, weak display bezel/frames, weak outer-frames on their phones, laptop case creaking, etc. Heck they have yet to figure out how to design cables that don't fray. I'm sure there are some nice aspects to owning a mac too, otherwise nobody would purchase them. But I have yet to find anything that they've done w.r.t good build quality. I do admit they have a very good handle on making their products look pretty. So there's that..

Seriously, the bluetooth chipset in my MBP 2018 at work sucks balls. If I try to listen to music on my bluetooth headset as well as using a bluetooth mouse it stutters, and the mouse cursor is jittery.

If I use the same mouse and headset on my Dell Precision 5520 I don't suffer from these issues.
