We will have to agree to disagree on the Mac front tho. Pre 2015-16 Macbooks are good, in the last couple of years it's all downhill. Then there was the complete debacle with Catalina end of last year, dispelling the notion that OSX is so much better than Windows.
On long lasting of PCs - My brother in law still uses an old rig of mine with the original Intel core i7 11ish years after I build it. My father still uses HP laptop I gave him as a BD present about 10 years ago and my previous 5-6 years old desktop rig. Personally I have switched to laptops as of late and have zero issues with 4 years old Surface book. The jury is out on the latest Dell XPS 13 as it's only 6 months old.
Meanwhile the missus Macbook air circa 2016 barely hold 30mn of battery charge and has been running like a dog, even after complete reinstall of OSX.
Then there is the appalling 1 year warranty or massive premium for Apple care+ at their price range that's a disgrace. Even if a non-Apple laptop lasts 1/2 as long, does it matter when you can get it for 1/2 the price with 3-5 years warranty?
