My greatest concern about Mac hardware is that they are perfectly operational by the time software-driven programmed obsolescence comes its way, even when it is a nice problem to have. I have 3 iMacs 27 (2019) which have a gorgeous display,

Why do you have a 14-day money back guarantee instead of a 30-day free trial? My perception (although I never tried it) is that it reduces the number of people actually trying it and avoids that you have to still pay for the payment platfor
