8 years with my current Mac PowerBook. Zero issues.
Macs are wonderful if you do graphics, or standard Microsoft Office tasks, and surf the net. If you get into real power usage, you need a Windows based or at least UNIX based system. I have several programs that together are more than I paid for my first Porsche, and we get to do that each year. The all specify Win 10 Pro, with lost of RAM. I end up building a custom computer from components to meet our needs.

I love my iPhone 6S. We were at the Mac store and I got a new batteries for my wife's and my phone. As we picked them up they had us stand next to the most powerful computer they sell. It was not very impressive. Low RAM, and not even a top CPU. The price was impressive.

The ability to add multiple NVIDIA 1080 TI cards in one system is important for the 3D programs we run. I fully understand we are not the average user.
