You mean the ones that gathered so much dust on the inside that the GPUs died because you couldn’t open them to clean them out? MacBooks were only good when they were the only thing around with good build quality, good screens and SSDs by default. The rest of the world on the other hand has caught up to them and overtaken. Macs have always had issues, like the hot exhaust air melting the glue holding the screen togehter or the GPUs coming off from the boards or other such nonsense.
The ipad has always been a stupid device. It’s nothing more than a glorified email machine. It’s not portable enough to justify replacing your oversized phone with it (mind you, most phones these days are more powerful than an ipad), and it’s nowhere near powerful enough to rival a decent laptop in the same price range (or cheaper), so you can’t do any real work on it either.
