And ironically, a special part failing and there being no replacement parts is more likely to happen on one of these NUCloids than a Mac mini.

So over the span of 20 years they’ll pay a multitude on these crappy computers than what the Mac mini costs once. May as well get a specced out Mac.

Isn't Apple also famous for not offering replacement parts other than replacing the whole thing and charging you accordingly?

In some cases yes, but having used Macs for decades and also working in companies with Macs for all the developers one thing is clear; these things don't easily break. Built extremely well.

(One exception being the GPU issues a few years back though on Intel MBP's)

Can you provide any more objective support outside of your obvious Apple fan vibes?

Other than that whole butterfly keyboard on their laptops for several years, culimnating in a $50 million class-action lawsuit for laptops between 2015 and 2019, totally!

No, wait, there was also bend gate and the iphone battery thing as well.

Uhhhh something about airpod ANC crackling.

There's more I'm forgetting.

God why do I keep buying Apple shit. I'm in a toxic relationship with an abuser.
