Exactly. So if the hardware is not written off within warranty time something is wrong with the business. Of course it does not NEED to be replaced every three years but after three years of use you need to have money to buy new one the same day old one breaks.

That creates a pretty poor business case for investing in new Apple computers, really. Particularly compared to their PC counterparts like Dell and HP.

Every business uses what is best for them. Likewise, for some it is Pro Tools and for some other it may be Logic.
