Mac Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Aha, my entire work life is usually on software that hasn't been released yet, and even so I don't seem to run in to half the problems others do. I'm fairly tight about what I actually install, when, what order etc. And log all of it ... Makes it pretty easy to roll back specific changes that cause issues, or in fact nail down when problems actually started to occur. Apply that principal to a Windows machine it'll serve you just as well as any OSX unit. In terms of hardware issues - Mac stuff is just common components, admittedly slightly higher end than your 500 quid Currys jobby - and their failure rate is roughly in line with wherever else those components are used. Look at people who 'play'...or 'enthusiasts' - they tend to have 10 times the problems of people who buy stuff for utility purposes. No real problem there of course - that's what being an enthusiast is about - playing/learning/seeing what flies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 But but but Macs NEVER go wrong so people keep telling me Oh but they do. They most definitely do. Even without drowning them too. I've had a logic board go and then an SSD go, both on a top of the range Macbook Pro under 3 years old. It gets huge use though. Probably 13-14 hours a day, every day, and lots of travel shunting too that almost certainly hasn't helped. Software wise, I've never had a single issue. Ever.

CarMad Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 She was doing it all upside down its different for them. Both of mine have been fine and zero issues and I'm still on the beta program at the moment so a little ahead of normal releases for the time being but I think I will opt out of that shortly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Is Time Machine the OSX equivalent to Restore Points? I've set it up (giving it the 200gb server space it suggested!!) without really understanding its strengths etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
