Why I buy Apple computers

In article , dump-on-
says...

About three years ago, I sold my very decent IBM Thinkpad, made the
plunge, and bought an Apple MacBook Pro. Never had any problems with it.
Today, I was using it and the screen started flashing a little. Weird.
So I called Apple. I'm out of warranty, but...there was an issue with
the video cards on these machines, so Apple extended service for that
item to four years. So I'm covered. The tech made an appointment for me
at the Apple store. I'm not sure what the repair is, but "it will be
fixed," I was assured, and at no cost to me.

Interestingly, this laptop cost me less than the Thinkpad I had. I had
that machine for about five years, I think, before I sold it.

Boating related, because I run chart plotting software on the Macbook Pro.

So you used a Thinkpad for 5 years and sold it still working.
Now your Apple breaks down after 3 years.
You have a computer with a flashing screen that may or may not be the
same again, and an unknown time-consuming hassle before you'll know.
And you say that's why you buy Apple.
Riiiight.
