Exactly.But then you get a brand new car.
Right. With none of the time-worn comfort you’ve perfected in the old one. With none of the personal customization you’ve put into the old one.
The word “customization” sounds like “chaos” to Mac users.
I had to use a Mac at work for a good amount of time and not being able to do anything to make it work like I wanted it to was infuriating.
And with the price tag of an entire car as opposed to an air filter.
Let’s continue with the car analogy. Most earlier cars were way more customizable and extensible than the modern cars of today. But, those cars broke all the time. Having an integrated system allows you to make the whole package last longer, not just all the individual parts. A car from 2016 is way more reliable than one from 1976. Less customizable, yes, but more reliable.
I mean, unless you build that car with planned obsolescence like Mac does.
Not that PCs don’t become obsolete, but it’s still far easier (and much cheaper) to swap out one or two parts than it is to buy a whole new rig. Mac overcharges you by crazy amounts for their options.
