What Lenovo/Dell models were those? And how are you exactly calculating these percentages?
It looks like you speak from your own experience, and so do I.
Enterprise grade laptops from either Lenovo and Dell are known to be very sturdy and well made. Not sure if the materials will be as nice for your fingers as the macbook materials, but for sure they won't fall apart.
I have had thinkpads that would have survived falling from a third floor. I just don't see how a macbook is more reliable than a thinkpad or a precision.
Try throwing a macbook out your window.
It’s an Intel machine
They’ve released versions with bad graphics cards, bad batteries.
It takes time to re-design and ship. They replaced numerous “bad keyboard” models for people.
Meanwhile, every plastic Lenovo or Dell needs a new hinge or battery cover every year, and screws fall out.
I’d take physically legit with hard to source issues like ghosted screens since I’m only using it for text and browsing and occasional sound hiccups than a laptop that falls apart after 2 years.
My recent 15” MBP has outlived Dells of the same age at my employer.
80% of the way there is better than 60%
