I just recovered data for a neighbor who has a Windows 10 desktop. Totally corrupted hard drive and failed OS. After not being able to get any data by connecting to another Windows machine, he took the hard drive to a data recovery shop, they wanted $2400 to attempt recovery. Then he came to me.
I used my Apple Mac Mini and it's utilities to mount and fix errors, and recovered all his data for him. Told him he would be better off getting a Mac, as Windows machines are prone to failure, often because of using inferior hard drives. Mac drives are higher quality. He forced me to take $200, because I saved his data. Went and spent it on some apps for my Mac.
That is bunch of bull
Apple uses the same OEMs as everyone else, Seagate, Western Digital, Hitachi, Fujitsu/Toshiba, etc It is all the same stuff
And I could have recovered his data using any desktop Mac or windows, it is about the tools and how to use those tools. Not platform.
Have you ever recovered data from Apple computers? I have, plenty of times
Backup, backup, backup, I don’t care if you believe the Gay computer is infallible, back it up at all costs
Windows machines are prone to failure, often because of using inferior hard drives.

Apple used to intentionally corrupt hdd’s in macs if they didn’t match an internal table of what was factory installed... SLEAZY? or STUPID? you tell me... but it made repairs very expensive.
HDD’s come in all different quality and price points.. Apple hdd’s fail too... I like Fujitsu and Hitachi... or any good SSD.
Same thing happened to me. I have to rely on a Chrome browser to access the Internet.
