It's true for the most part. They really do produce good quality products. The markup reflects the branding, true, but that's OK if the products are good.
I wish Apple had a competitor in the US. Google competes with software and phones, but is losing the phone battle hard. Microsoft puts out an operating system that is too busy making sure legacy software from 1995 still runs. All (most) of the hardware "competitors" run Windows and can't compete on the performance side. We need a company that produces their own hardware and operating system that competes with Apple, I think.

TLDR: If you want to join a community of people who are interested in working on a competitor, buy one of these, or a pinephone. I strongly encourage people to buy these and contribute, but don’t expect them to work as a daily driver.
