minus-squarepanicnow@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11arrow-down2·1 day agoI tried to find a good study of laptop lifespan by brand. The best thing I could find was a consumer reports survey from 2023. https://www.consumerreports.org/electronics-computers/laptops-chromebooks/laptopreliability-a7029273631/ They rated Apple as the #1 laptop for reliability. I don’t think that is “iWaste.” This lines up with what I’ve seen, but even as a career IT person my personal sample size ain’t that great. I dislike that current Apple products aren’t very repairable, but appreciate that they are very recyclable and durable.
