I once got an Apple laptop around the time they switched away from Intel chips, I lasted about four months with it before running back to KDE.

That's well into the time that they were getting worse. They were good in the PowerPC G3/4/5 era, when they were doing things like making laptops that could have the RAM upgraded without even needing a tool. They were also trying to be taken more seriously for business, so they had stuff like the XServe and cared about scripting (putting effort into Applescript/Automator APIs for their apps) and such.

    The hardware was kind of ok, it's really with the software that I had issues.

    As an aside I tried to configure their email client for a friend a year or so ago and I've never seen such a convoluted piece of software. I thought accessibility was their thing, this was astoundingly Byzantine. Never seen anything like it before or since (in that class of software).
