I don’t get the hype for Apple stuff. Custom built desktops or frankenlaptops look way cooler and it is a lot of fun to finally figure out what kind of gear you need.
It was always software vs Windows (which it goes without saying has always been trash), but I think nowadays it’s more of a hardware thing, Linux vs Mac OS, it’s not much of a much.
There are of course tons of features missing from the (laptop) hardware, touch screens, modems, any kind of interesting keyboards or folding etc. but the standard and reliability of the features it does have are of a pretty good class.
I used to have Asus hybrid tablet laptop and it was my favorite computer simply because it had both keyboard and touchscreen and it was super fun to point your finger at the screen instead of using the touchpad. the downside was that the connector port wore out relatively quickly and it started glitching and then the touchscreen broke down and that was all she wrote for that adventure.
Yeahhhh I love interesting form factors, give me more, I want them all! Yoga line has been really fun. Although there is something to be said for making it a bit more tankie tankish, for work, especially

Gotta look like the coolest hipster in Starbucks 👍
But yeah, I agree… a custom build is the best build.
what’s cool about it is that custom build is always a Theseus Ship and eventually you switch every single component but it is still your PC.
