I'm too good at losing or breaking things, or having them stolen.

I now travel with $100 "refurbished" Chromebooks. I'm on my third.

My Windows "work" laptop hasn't been used since the start of the Covid epidemic and can probably be considered obsolete at this point. My stay-at-home computers run Linux.

Apple products do not appeal to me.
