Why is this important. Are you saying that PC users are stupider than Mac users or something? The end result is that PC users go through more hardware than Macs. I consider myself pretty decent with computers and use both. My five year old MacBook Air runs fine, I’ve gone through two PC laptops (that were always bigger) and they don’t tend to survive windows updates. I’ve even churned through yearly chrome books that seem to be made out of paper mache or something.
Perhaps people are trainable to do the right thing. But it’s been decades, maybe we think about why this training fails on aggregate.
In the meantime, my personal experience of cost/year being cheaper with Mac vs PC stands for me.
My personal experience is my all my laptops last. People have problems with macs. People have problems with PCs. Doesn’t mean any are better than the other. But people with pc laptops will more often update their laptop for next to no gain over what they already had.
People with apple products tend to keep better care of the products than the latter too.
