I mean, it's ultimately a matter of opinion as to what makes a laptop the "best" on the market, but it seems like a serious stretch to call them ewaste. I've never personally owned an Apple product in my life, but they make some really solid hardware even if it's sold at a premium.

The majore issues are, even more moves to restrict repairability on purpose than already common in the industry, refusal to pay for mistakes till lawsuites force them to do so and a history of majore desing flaws in countless products. Louis Rossman dose a good job at showing that, ewaste is a little harsh but I think it's unfortunately very much appropriate in this case, just my opinion tho.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
