Almost every single laptop I’ve owned has had an issue at one point or another. I’ve had more windows laptops with weirder issues than my Macs. The Mac hardware last longer but I’ve had a 2011 MBP finally die after 6 years.

No chance I’m rolling my dice with Linux on a laptop. Touchpad support is funky. I run FreeNAS, Linux, and raspberrypi boxes at my house.
