   I hope so. And I am sincere. I took his focus on one specific and uncommon   
   issue -- of which I have no disagreement -- to be meant to imply a broader   
   point. He does not seem to mean that... and if so I am wrong and took his   
   words incorrectly.   
      
   Macs tend to last longer, at least according to the best evidence we have, but   
   that does not mean Apple does not make tradeoffs that can lead to issues with   
   longevity in some situations. I would say there are situations even beyond the   
   one Gremlin pointed out, such as some overheating issues tied to the low sound   
   and thinness Apple values.
