> Apple hardware isn't exceptional, it's maybe slightly above average

Is this a serious statement? If Apple's hardware is maybe slightly above average - what's above it? It's an easy company to hate on - but you don't have any other platform integrated as well as Apple's right now IMO. Unless you maybe count Huawei.

Edit: I think I may be referring more to the holistic picture. But still curious what hardware you think is better.

The only hardware I can think of that's consistently higher-quality than Apple is niche stuff at a much higher price point.

e.g. the Seneca keyboard, Sennheiser Orpheus headphones, etc.

Yeah, no way that is a serious statement. My Macbook Air from 2011 still works perfectly, and the original iPhone that I found stashed inside one of my dad's cabinets charged, turned on without issues and was fully usable as well. That's a device that's almost two decades old. If that's not hardware quality, I don't know what is.

I am forced to use a MacBook for work and I think it is shit. I partucularly abhor its reflective screen and the toy keyboard. I hate that it has only 4 usbc ports that force me to have a dongle.

I can't fathom why people like that crap apart from looking slick.

Mac OS is shit, and I would unironically prefer to be forced to use Windows at work.

Style over substance. Pure crap to me.
