Ah yes, the no true scotsman argument, classic.

In reality Apple products overall have very good build quality, long software support timelines and very good software-hardware integration. OSX is more user friendly than Linux and a lot less user hostile than Windows. Spending 8 hours fighting whatever idiocy Windows or Linux or Dell throws at me costs me much more than an extra $500 for an Apple laptop.

For example, my Macbooks have never woken up in a backpack at 2am and proceeded to thermally cook themselves for 6 hours to the point of the battery not working at all after 6 months. My windows laptops have.
