I would say that the current Microsoft Surface laptop/book has the same build quality feel as the Macbook line, but unfortunately you're stuck with Windows 10, which is a downgrade if you're used to MacOS.

Interestingly this also works in reverse, namely macOS is a downgrade if you are used to Windows 10.

Windows 10 is also working against you with its telemetry and ads.
We shouldn't have to work against the interest of the company that sells us the software running on our PCs. This will lead to more problems down the road.

I concur. I have a Surface. It sucks. Worst computer I’ve ever bought.
Keyboard sucks. Is it a tablet trying to be a laptop? Or a laptop moonlighting as a tablet?
Stylus sucks. It doesn’t have the accuracy of the iPad. And it always had a weird parallax feeling, so I gave up on using it. And the software was just mediocre.
I gave up and bought a Lenovo T4xx series laptop. Installed a dual boot Linux Ubuntu on it. Best. Computer. Laptop. Ever.
