When I described the problems I've had with Apple's notebooks thus far, a few commenters asked me why I stick with Apple at all. "Have you considered a different brand of computer? A Dell or something?" one asked. Another said, "I find it strange that your answer is to buy another product from the company that is causing you so much pain. Your interim solution is to rely on the phone and tablet from same said company. There are other computers out there." A third commenter reiterated that point: "Hasn't it occurred to you after this time, or to any of the people commenting on this post, to move away from Apple altogether?"
