I’m on the same 2018 I got in 2018.

Every Dell or Lenovo I had before that was cracked, missing plastic bits, feet and screws after 4 years.

Last Lenovo had battery issues from the start. 2018 MacBook still lasts a day.

But my dual Xeon Dell Precision desktop from 2017 is still a beast, never had issues.

It’s a gradient in the aggregate but my personal experience says it’s just fine to write off any laptop that isn’t a Mac. The plastic housing alone makes me think they take a “Gillette razor” approach to portables; who cares if it cracks apart, just replace it! which I have a hard time looking passed given the industrial waste shitshow we already have.
