In your opinion, maybe. However I have owned several non-Apple laptops in my life and none have been as durable, or have lasted longer than my MacBooks. My wife is currently using my 2009 MacBook Pro with all the original hardware and it works just as well as the day I got it. It might need a RAM upgrade soon, but that's easy enough (yes, it is user-serviceable despite what you claim).

So if planned obsolescence means it will last 7 years, I'm fine with that, and I'm also fine with the price tag.

I had a Lenovo laptop where the left click button snapped (shitty plastic), and an HP laptop which overheated and killed the processor. Never had any issues with my MacBooks and that's why I'll keep buying them.
