Now, I declare shenanigans that macbooks are 20% epoxy. I demand component ratios of a recent macbook air to prove your point! XD
The correct statement, then, is that Macbooks were well-designed, which is quite true.

Source:
"The new MacBook Pro is virtually non-upgradeable -- making it the first MacBook Pro that will be unable to adapt to future advances in memory and storage technology," said Wiens.

The teardown revealed that Apple used many of the same assembly techniques as it does with the self-contained and virtually un-upgradeable MacBook Air, including proprietary screws, copious amounts of glue, expensive parts -- the screen in particular -- that must be completely replaced even after the smallest failure, and fused components that will likely break when a neighboring part must be removed.
Not to mention that on the newest Macbook Pro, they've removed the ethernet port. If you're a person that wants to use ethernet (like, say, everyone in the world) you need to pay an additional $25 for an adapter on top of the already ridiculous price, because Apple thinks they can make Thunderbolt a standard technology by forcing Mac owners to use it. After all, it worked with Firewire, right?

Oh, wait...no it didn't.

I'm not saying Macs are terrible. I'm only saying they are at best as good as comparable non-Apple branded hardware, and freakishly overpriced.

Plus, Apple has become an obnoxiously litigious company. They can't innovate anymore without Steve Jobs, so they're doing all they can to stymie other companies' attempts to move technology forward.
