Isn’t that what I said? That it’s very good?

I had a surface laptop, it was fine, not as good as a MacBook imo.

Had a razer laptop, it was good, got very hot though.

Had an X1 Carbon Extreme that I liked, wasn’t as good build quality or screen or camera or trackpad as my MBP from work at the time though, was still expensive af.

What are you thinking of that’s better than a MacBook Pro?

By that logic, why don't Macs outsell the sum of Windows machines? If people buy Apple devices for the quality, Macs should outsell Windows machines 5:1.

In reality, I think it's well understood that 95%+ of customers (for Apple, Google and Microsoft) don't make any evaluation of device quality. They buy whatever they see their peers use, because they want to identify with the [luxury|convenience|hardworking] lifestyle of their comrades and idols: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keynesian_beauty_contest
