MacBooks Are an Investment, Not a Purchase

I've been using MacBooks for many years and I love them. BUT it's amazing how many problems they have compared to how expensive they are. I have a problem with a battery with my Mac now. I've had problems with screen with my last Mac. My coworker has issues with keyboard. Investment? As in penny stocks or junk bonds?

Lol.<p>If guess that in a few years all the points won&#x27;t be valid anymore.<p>It&#x27;s not possible to upgrade components anymore in macbooks.<p>Also, quite frankly, I guess that the author has been just lucky. Had any component broken, they would have been out of luck (no warranty, expensive parts).<p>And quite frankly, for every geek that says &quot;my macbooks had no problems&quot; there are probably ten Normal people that had a ton of problems.

My 2013 model is still going strong. I agree with the sentiment.
