I had one and abandoned it the moment I got a Retina MBP because I couldn't bare to stare at 1440p screens any more. I paid £899 for it when it came out. That's £1165 now with inflation. Applying that to the Studio Display now, I paid £330 more for the Studio Display, gain a charger, 5k screen, decent speaker system, decent webcam and a warranty. And it looks really nice sitting in front of me. I'm really not bothered. As for the OS, I don't care if it's got an imp with a paintbrush drawing the pixels on the inside of the glass as long as it works.

Apple laptops are like heroin for eyes: experience it once and you can't go back. Just this weekend my s/o needed a new laptop - unfortunately, she's more or less locked into the Windows world, and needs some serious-ish GPU offering. Apple was unfortunately out of the question because the M1 can't run Windows... so we looked around, and there was literally no offer that had an aluminium case, a decent GPU/CPU/RAM combo and a screen with a better resolution than 1080p at a reasonable price! We settled on an Acer Swift X in the end and made the compromise at the display.
