    And even though it does cost more at first, it lasts a lot longer and gets lots more free OS updates that most other ones.

      More free OS updates? You can upgrade your PC from Windows 7 to 10 for free (even to 11 if you have TPM2). That will be decades of free updates and upgrades.

      Not to mention Linux, FreeBSD, and the like.

        True, in that order. Win 7, then 10, which almost doesn’t run because of hardware requirements, then all those Linux distros. You will be busy with installing and configuring these for decades, because it mostly doesn’t just work.

        But it’s free, if you value your time to nothing.

      The os updates thing may hold more water for iOS… It’s a bit suspect when comparing to Windows and just plain wrong if you compare to any major Linux distro.
