Let’s, for the sake of argument, say that I did want to jettison thousands of dollars of Apple hardware into an active volcano.

What are equivalent laptops and phones (I’ve seen no watches remotely close, but bonus if you know one) as measured by:

1. Build quality

2. Performance (component integration, speed, battery life, etc.)

3. Warranty and support (a la AppleCare)

4. Just Works™️ OS and applications

Before answering, kindly only chime in if:

1. You own the product(s) in question

2. You hearby acknowledge that, while I’m highly technical, I long ago lost interest in compiling my own kernel or wrestling with bootloaders. I’m a “business user,” not a developer. That’s my use case.

Please and thank you. 🙏🏼 #asknostr
