Counter-point. The company I work for has about 50/50 Macbooks vs Lenovo. We have about 1000 staff, and I've seen similar rates in a company with 5000 staff.

Macbooks

* 2% fail in first 12 months

* 20% need replacing in 3 years

Lenovo:

* 20% fail in first 12 months. (Surprisingly high number fail out of the box)

* 80% need replacing within 3 years

I don't want a laptop that's easy to repair as much as a laptop that doesn't need repairing.




Which Lenovo lines? Their price points and build quality are all over the place.


Is that because MacBooks are more tolerant of damages, rather than being resistant? I've seen photos of MacBooks with deformed bodies still operating normally. Same don't happen often with other brands.
