  • The secret of Apple's success in selling premium tech as an affordable luxury

    WinTel hardware is still as much garbage now as it always has been when I was rolling with that crowd.  
    In case you missed the the mid-2000's, "Wintel hardware" and "Mac hardware" are the same thing. The only thing that keeps macOS from running on a Dell is a few DRM-esque bits of code Apple added to check the motherboard to see if it's an Apple product or not.

    If you had bad experiences with your "Wintel hardware", buying crappy (likely mass-produced) systems was the cause. My home-built PC is almost 10 years old and has no hardware issues at all. It will outlive its useful life in the march of progress in power efficiency. And it's been supported on the OS side longer than any Macintosh system by Apple. It started life as a Windows XP (2001) machine, and is still supported under the current Windows 10 -- that will be over 20 years of Extended Support lifecycle even if Microsoft decided to make a new Win10 update tomorrow it couldn't run.
