You're saying you're in the market for a Linux laptop and compare it to a macbook. I don't see the fair comparison to be honest. Sure there is Ashai and you could install Linux on an Intel MacBook, but for those setups you don't have company that has explicitly support for Linux. As for your other points, those are fair even though subjective. I really do like the modular ports, especially because they expose the possibility to build your own modules (or buy community made modules) for the laptop because everything is open source.
