I think they are, and have been for many years, in a completely different league to all other laptops. - Much better battery life (both when you buy it, and how slowly it degrades) - Windows is just a mess. MacOS is way nicer, and has the advantage for developers of being Unix based. And compared to linux, things generally just work which is a major boost to overall productivity. - Build quality is unmatched and always has been. Materials are nicer, things fit together properly, they’re light, etc - Touchpad is amazing - Performance is great. It feels like the parts work together rather than individually, and the machine is optimised for real tasks rather than isolated benchmarks. There are many good reasons to use a freer linux laptop but productivity is not one of them, in my experience.
