> It’s simply a fact that Apple devices have longer average lifetimes

I've used the same desktop for the 8 to 6 years, upgrading with STANDARDIZED components over the years, and my laptop from that era still works. Heck, I've got a 18 years old thinpad still working fine.

In the mean time, two MBP died on me. Try again...



Do you care about the overall ecological footprint of Apple, as Greenpeace does, or only a few specific devices in particular? How do you evaluate likely future device lifetimes and ecological footprint, cherry picked statistics or manufacturer track record?

Should I take your evaluation in thus, or trust a detailed whole enterprise evaluation by Greenpeace?
