While I do like Apple and their integrated hardware/software platform (see my problems with Dell XPS 15 reported in another comment), this also shows the problems with a monopole producer of macOS hardware. I still run a 2009 iMac and a 2013 MBP. The MBP is still fine but I'd prefer to replace the iMac with a desktop with external screen. But there is no hardware worth its price! The Mac Pro is great, but too expensive for hardware from 2013. The Mac mini has the same problem, but even worse, the existing hardware isn't fast. This shouldn't happen if multiple companies were in competition for great Mac hardware.
