What's wrong with Macs?
The most important thing is to make sure you regularly backup anything you want to keep.
From 2016 on, the hard drive(along with the memory and practically everything else) is soldered onto the logic board(motherboard). If something fails, good luck getting anything recovered. Not to mention the whole logic board would have to be replaced(and yes, it's expensive).

Here's what I recommend you grab, but let me know what you're hoping to use the computer for and I can get more detailed:
FREE
BlackMagic Disc Speed Test
FileZilla or similar FTP client
Chrome or Firefox - I'd prob recommend FF at this point
OnyX - run this once every few months to clean up your system
Skype
Slack
NOT FREE:
Adobe Creative Cloud (don't get Final Cut. They've dumbed it down to the point where it's unusable IMO.)
Pixelmator - one time payment for a very good Photoshop clone
Camtasia
Logic Pro
MS Office
Everything else you need is already on the computer. That's one of the great things about MacOS.
For me, it's not even that, I don't care to be in their ecosphere and things are unusually more expensive on the mac front. And with people dual booting into windows anyway it makes me wonder why even do that? On top of that, macOS is still built on a Linux kernel isn't it? Why not just run a Linux box?
