Which laptop should I buy in 2025?
Using a Mac Book genuinely changes your workflow. The track pad gestures and Mission Control make multitasking and app switching feel fast and natural. Since macOS is tightly integrated with the hardware performance stays smooth and reliable. That’s why a lot of users struggle to switch back after getting used to a Mac Book.

What is the best laptop brand for long term use?
I never thought I would buy a MacBook as a lifelong Windows user and software developer, but after going through 3 laptops in the span of my wife's one MacBook because of batteries and the laptops slowing to a crawl with each OS update I finally switched. The new M-series silicon is unbelievably efficient and the battery is truly in its own class. Pair that with an OS that is built for purpose and you have a device that will outlast any laptop. It's not perfect, and repairability is not great, but it's also not impossible to repair like some other apple products, and the batteries which are the worse culprits come out pretty easily in most cases

What is the best laptop brand for long term use?
I grew up on PCs (dad’s a systems engineer and I was coding my own websites by 4th grade!) and I switched to Mac in university bc my program gave me a MBP. Having used higher end versions of both, including a desktop PC that my dad and I built together, I will ride or die for my MacBook. I have a 2013 MacBook that I have literally never had issues with and still runs adobe CC apps/affinity, multiple chrome windows with an actually insane amount of tabs, coding software, etc., and not a single PC that I or my family of engineers has owned in the last 35 years has lasted longer than 5-7 years before being replaced and I remember having to save all my important files to floppy disks and CDs and doing a factory reset on my PCs at least once a year, if not two or three times. FWIW, A lot of us actually have plenty of experience with higher end PCs and still prefer a Mac. People who prefer a Mac aren’t comparing their experience with an old and busted PC just because you don’t prefer a Mac.

What’s one product you bought that has lasted forever and was totally worth it?
Finally retired mine in 2022 when I bought my MacBook Air M2, which was such a huge upgrade.. but I could have gotten a few more years of use out of my 2013 MacBook pro 13", it was a solid champ

[Request] Consumer-Grade (not military spec) Laptop with the longest lasting hardware/hinges
I'm assuming you're just a white collar worker like me and just wants something that doesn't fall apart. Being a tech geek and a programmer, I absolutely love the new Surface. It's as fast and as capable as any laptop. And guess what? No hinges! It's one solid piece. There's not really any wear parts except on the keyboard cover. Not to mention that it can be just a tablet when you just want to watch movies, read books or something. If you want something bigger and more powerful, get an Apple Macbook. I feel it gets unjust flak for being expensive, but a lot of the price goes into the nice materials and the beautiful screen. And at the high end, (~$2000), it's competitive pricewise with Windows laptops of the same specs. Protip though: buy used. Macbooks haven't really changed that much since I bought mines (late 2013).
