Sorry, no, I'm not handholding PC manufacturers anymore. When Macbooks were Intel based there were trade-offs, you were buying a laptop that would overheat and underpeform for the spec. The keyboards were iffy to the point where they removed essential keys etc;.
Now, there isn't a better laptop that's an all-rounder for 95% of people. They are fast, cool, do not compromise on display quality or audio quality, afaik they're the only laptop manufacturer giving you full 40GB/s out of each and every USB4 port and they optically seal them (and always have) making USB-Killers ineffective.
They are stupid expensive for upgrades, this is true, however the comparable systems (XPS/Precision, Elitebook, Thinkpad X) are all within spitting distance of the price and still have significant compromises.
PC manufacturers need to do better.
- sgt 2y agoThey have nearly zero incentive to do better. Most PC users simply do not care. They are not really changing the world either, just gaming or plopping figures into Excel.
