I want to buy a MacBook Pro but the problem I have fundamentally is the increasingly locked down experience they seem to be drifting towards, like the walled gardens on the phone. I feel like I am supporting an ecosystem not aligned to my needs. At the same time, Microsoft isn’t much better with user hostile dark patterns, ands, and things like Recall. It would be nice to have laptops that have the physical build quality and battery life of MacBook Pros but with a Windows 7-10 era OS without all this new anti customer stuff.
