I'll bite. You seem to be wrong. I use a 13" Huawei laptop from 2019 (I can't compare newer hardware):

- screen resolution is 4k (please correct me if that's not retina)

- price was $900-$1000 (apple products were double that price)

- everything just works in Linux except the fingerprint reader (I'll have to give you that)

[asah]

thx! how's the CPU?

(separately, I won't touch Huawei on principle... but maybe there's other brands?)
