Actually to be fair, I think Apple care is $299 at Costco, but of course when you buy at Costco you lose the ability to customize RAM, storage etc.Which would you choose?

That's nuts to me. I buy a new laptop every 4 years or so. Usually at around

The Macbook will hold its value longer.

Sure, but still not even close to worth it. IMO

If you only do tasks that a $400 computer can handle then you’re correct.

To each their own.. Spec up a Windows machine with the same hardware..

.. for example.. A Dell XPS 15 with the same spec's is ~$2500

I thought that. Then I bought a Macbook 3 years ago and will never go back.
