Europe is resource hungry when it comes so social spending. Budgets are huge, and a lot of money is being spent. Some of that money is not even ours, it's just other people buying our debt.
I do question myself sometimes how much longer this can be maintained. Our world is changing fast, and it's not like Europe is losing the game, it's that we are not even playing it.
We will eventually need to do something about it. What exactly needs to be done is definitely debatable.
What Lenovo/Dell models were those? And how are you exactly calculating these percentages?
It looks like you speak from your own experience, and so do I.
Enterprise grade laptops from either Lenovo and Dell are known to be very sturdy and well made. Not sure if the materials will be as nice for your fingers as the macbook materials, but for sure they won't fall apart.
I have had thinkpads that would have survived falling from a third floor. I just don't see how a macbook is more reliable than a thinkpad or a precision.
It has been releasing faulty keyboards on it's macbooks for years. They knew. They didn't care. They just continued to release new ones every year with the same faulty keyboard.
Not to mention staingate (which affected me personally).
Those 2700$+ macbooks with ghosting screens. The stupid chip that does a weird sound when you stop your music.
The list just goes on and on.
And this is the stuff on the surface. Go open a macbook and analyze every single component quality...
I'm afraid they will ruin the franchise like they did with HoI if they ever release VicIII.
