As theclack said, Apple laptops did have a troubled period. That is no longer the case. Windows PCs can’t touch the performance or battery life of any of Apple’s laptops, and they won’t have the longevity either. Just don’t expect to do any serious gaming on it. Apple is expensive but you can bank on it lasting and being useful for a long time (same goes for iPhones). I’d recommend maxing out the RAM on the MacBook Air configuration, and adding at least 1TB of storage. As an aside, my personal laptop is one of the “bad” Apple laptops (2016 MacBook Pro) and I’ve never had any issues with it. It’s six years old and still trucking. Could use a battery replacement though.
My parents have a storage room in the basement I didn’t know existed when I was a child. In it, 10-15 Macs from the last 25 years. My dad doesn’t want to throw them out without deleting the data but he doesn’t know the passwords, so there they remain. It’s a room that gives me true anxiety, but at the same time it’s cool to see the ones with the circular base or the light blue boi. They all used to look so fun before Apple’s current late-capitalist, understated luxury era.
I am recommending rugby shirts to everyone you should be wearing rugby shirts especially if you are a cool guy polos are coming back but I enjoy long sleeves and plus rugby shirts have funky patterns so they are way sicker than most polos i actually have 8 rugby shirts and they are all funky fresh
