Anecdotal counterpoint, but as someone who had to use a MBP for work, OSX has given me way more random problems. Installing a system update on an MBP still gives me anxiety and I would avoid it for as long as possible, since I never managed to do one without _something_ inexplicably breaking.


Same here, got a MBP from my work 2 years ago. I have had more issues with it than other non mac laptops in the past, both OS and hardware issues. Battery expanding, display issues, system processes using 100% cpu until I reboot as some examples.


I have had my MacBook break but it was just broken at that point. I returned it to IT and got another one. The fact that I couldn’t do anything (or at least that was my perception) is a relief.
