Never had any issues on any of my macbooks and I've had them for over 5 years each. My 2012 mbp still runs as good as the day I got it!
I can't say the same about my 2012 mbp, it's been basically useless for like 5 years now.
I was referring mainly to newer models, the older line around 2012 was really good.
Didn't Apple get hit with a class action lawsuit over their 2011 Macbook Pros frying themselves?
You are right, I didn't know about this.
Fair enough, you're right they were great. Tbf everything up until the 2015 models were solid, as they were somewhat upgradable. Though, I've got a new M1 MAX and it's easily the best laptop I've ever owned!
Performance wise, sure… but I also believe that’s the model that, if you’re lucky, will fry itself to 100% uselessness, and make your data completely unrecoverable.
If you must use a MacBook, keep backups, and keep AppleCare on it. Just consider it your apple device subscription.
