In my personal experience, Apple laptops are far more durable than the crap Dell, Lenovo, etc are selling. Either way though I'm done with Apple and Microsoft. I doubt I'll ever buy another computer that comes preinstalled with an OS.

That's a fair complaint - I think the manufacturing quality has taken a nose dive across the board. I had a computer for two months that had oddly poor performance underload before I checked and realized there was no thermal paste between the heatsink and the CPU. I think as computers become more commoditized the quality has been falling more and more.

I also can't really speak to comparative quality as I've never worked maintaining a fleet of computers - just personal devices - but I'd believe it that Macs had a lower defect rate... it's more the design choices that I have an issue with.
