Not anymore. The hardware quality has gone downhill hard.

My powerbook from 2004 still works fine (kind of too slow, so I don't use it, but works fine).

In my powerbook from 2021 the entire right side of ports died less than a year into it.

Bought a macbook air in late 2022, one of the usbc ports died just a few months into its life. Which reminds me I need to take it to the store and see if they'll fix it or if I'm SOL again.
