I get why people do it. I just hate the proposition of throwing out a perfectly good computer that's potentially upgradable and certainly more repairable compared to a Mac.
Ask anyone who had their Mac break and the answer is usually it can't be fixed get a new one. Their hardware feels nice but reducing e-waste is a high priority in my book. MacBooks in particular don't have a great track record for longevity when heavily used, most cheap laptops don't.
An interprise computer designed to be repaired would always be a better option for professionals and individuals alike but even better is one that you already own.
