Not sure why you are getting downvoted, you are right. A mac is a status symbol. If you wanted a good system, you could get far more than a mac can give with the same price.

You are repeatedly doing this dumb “Apple fanboys” shit on this thread - please stop, it’s totally valueless.

Macs are more expensive than most equivalently-specced PCs. There are reasonable trade offs - things like good support, MacOS support, and build quality - and it’s totally understandable that some people think that’s worth the money.

How about more time trying to understand that people have different requirements from you, and less time being a cliché?

> build quality

Hasn't macbooks been plagued with keyboard issues?

> good support

Limited support from 3rd parties is good?

Such nonsense.

Please show me a laptop with the same quality trackpad and an operating system that works as well with my iOS devices e.g. AirDrop, Continuity, iCloud Notes, Photos, Keychain. And of course one that has perfect driver support and supports apps like Pixelmator and Omnigraffle.

>And of course one that has perfect driver support

I've used MBPs daily for the last few years and occasionally have issues when hotplugging external (Apple) displays. Nothing has perfect driver support.

Your requirements sound like those rigged bids in corrupted countries where the bid book conditions are like "car length to be between 2531 mm and 2533 mm" and "car weight between 1203 kg and 1205 kg"

Basically any better specced laptop that is hackintoshed.

Take a laptop with a good trackpad and install macOS on it?
