your post really does not want me to ever upgrade my MacBook Pro from 2012. What I really love about this machine is that a) you almost never need to reboot it (I do it out of habit once per week) b) it has never slowed down All the folks that work with me and use Windows have to re-boot at least daily and using a windows machine from 2012 is outright impossible. If what you say is not a fluke, meaning you got unlucky and got handed a bad machine, then I will keep my 2012 until it falls apart :). Some of the comments fortunately hint to the fact that you just got unlucky.. which sucks obviously..

I have a HP laptop that I bought in 2009. I upgraded it with SSD in 2011. Ever since, I have never had to restart the computer because of problems. My work desktop never gets restarted because of problems either. The only time I restart is when I get windows updates. Either I got lucky, or the people you know got unlucky with their computers.
