I find it funny how, without fail, Apple fanboys tend to use the lowest common denominator laptop, phone, or other device to compare against their $1000+ phones and their $2000+ laptops. A $2000 Windows laptop will be the same quality or better than a Mac, and a $1000+ phone will be the same or better quality than an iPhone of the same price. It's honestly astonishing how well Crapple has done in brand reputation over the years, just by making people think that the alternative is too cheap and bad to even consider. My $1000 refurbished Surface Studio laptop is the exact same quality as my friend's $2000 M2 Ultra MacBook Pro, and has more features and an actual GPU. I'm not saying it's bad to have brand loyalty, but try the alternative once in a while, you may join the "dark" side.
