If you're fine paying a consistent 600 tax, just make the leap and give a reasonable xps machine running linux another chance. My work machine is a 13" macbook pro on Catalina, my personal project machine is a 15" dell xps from 2017. Of the two, I'm delighted by the XPS running Arch/Gnome/Wayland. I'm much, MUCH less delighted by the Catalina crap box.
