Apple Silicon boosts the TCO benefit of Macs — report
Apple Silicon Macs fail at less than half the rate of Intel Macs, dramatically reducing the platform’s already industry-leading total cost of ownership (TCO), according to data revealed by London, UK-based Apple reseller Hoxton Macs. While it’s true the data is based on a relatively small sample group, it does seem to reflect what the industry in general sees. Apple’s chip design transforms Mac reliability The success of Apple Silicon hardware is attributed to its simpler design, which integrates multiple components into a single chip, reducing the number of potential failure points. Additionally, Apple Silicon Macs run cooler, leading to less wear and tear on components such as batteries and USB-C ports, the report says. Across the wider laptop market, most studies show hardware faults affect one in five non-Apple machines over their first three years in use. This builds on Apple’s enduring record for making good hardware as independent reliability surveys consistently rank the compan
