I've been an "Apple Fan Boy" since the 80s, but lately I've been extremely disappointed with the reliability of their laptops, the lastest one being the MacBook Pro I currently have (non operational) that its battery died 13 months after purchase and now. costs ±50% of a replacement new laptop.

I've got a NAS that I'll be scheduling a regular backup to.

The wife's got a macbook air that's 7 years old and still kicking.
