<p>I’ve had MacBook Pros for as long as they’ve existed and, honestly, I’ve never needed a repair.<p>The only real issue I’ve had was when I dropped one and destroyed the screen. It was covered by AppleCare, and Apple replaced it.<p>I usually get a new laptop every 3 to 4 years and pass the old one to family members. My dad is still using one that’s about 10 years old and it works fine for what he needs. No issues.<p>So the repair argument is a bit hard for me to relate to. I understand things break. But I also think taking reasonable care of your stuff goes a long way. “A stitch in time saves nine,” right?<p>I guess I’ve replaced the feet on a few of them but that’s a $5 dollar kit from Amazon and a screwdriver and a little bit of glue…<p>And for normal wear and tear, like battery life, Apple laptops can get a battery replacement through the Apple Store for a pretty reasonable cost.<p>Anyway, Apple makes good product products that don’t really break from me or my family. I’ve been really happy with all their stuff.<p>I had way worse luck, for example, building a PC to game on. Two or three years and I had to replace the power supply and I think four years and I had to replace the SSD. Like those things were annoying. I’ve never had hardware from Apple go bad on me.<p>(Not since I had a Performa 5200 and they had to send somebody out to fix the logic board.)</p>

<p>First impression... this catches issues that 4.7 missed, which caught issues that 4.6 missed... which caught issues that 4.5 missed...<p>Seems like a step in the right direction. Doesn't seem like it uses tokens more than 4.7... the token usage jumped a bunch from 4.6 to 4.7, but this seems like 4.7 or maybe even a little less.<p>I'm happy with this release.</p>

<p>This is an interesting article, but why don’t they just start with black fans? Marketing? Feels like we know their brand now, they can lose the hideous brown and just build black fans to start with.</p>
