>In fact I would acquire the cheapest parts available for testing purposes to look for the faulty hardware (via exclusion by swapping with the cheapo parts), then buy a new one if it is found.

That's kinda what I did with my current one. Just bought a used laptop from someone and upgraded the ram for around 70 euros. Not too bad imho. I have one friend who's a Macbook user who even told me that I played it smarter by buying a regular laptop for 1/10 of the price of a Macbook


>I don't see a point to Macs. You are just locking yourself into a system that cannot have it's hardware upgraded and is limited in what programs it can use.

Some companies give them to employees or use them in work frequently methinks.

There's those new M1 Macbooks that "seem" pretty fast and powerful compared to anything else available for PCs. But maybe it's a little overpriced.
