I've owned macs for decades and every single time there's been a problem or defect, they have been gaslighting assholes the whole time. Things were particularly bad when the only way to get a laptop repaired was to ship it to their repair facility in Texas. Weeks of waiting, only to get the machine shipped back to you with a letter saying they found nothing wrong.

Apple is infamous for "secret" recalls that staff will never mention unless you specifically know about them in advance.

One example: I had a Retina MBP with the infamous antiglare-flaking problem, which Apple was sued over and initiated a secret warranty extension program for people who complained...but the settlement did not require notifying owners of said extension. I assumed they weren't doing repairs until I heard about the program second-hand...a year after they stopped doing it.



Sad thing is, in my experience, they're still one of the best when it comes to service lol.


Razer's support is underrated. They've easily been the best for any company I've had to deal with multi-thousand-dollar replacements/repairs for, and coincidentally they also serve a very similar niche to Apple (high-priced, high-performance, well-built laptops).


From my experience with them, as the guy who'd fix everyone's electronics back in uni, the build quality of Razer gear was unfortunately not so great!

A lot of chabuduo Chinese components in products that were priced at the high end of the market!
