Unfortunately Dell is cheap, make (or at least used to) fairly robust computers for their price with spare parts that can easily be found. Mac is much more expensive and good luck sourcing parts from other brands. Lenovo went downhill when they were sold off.

What do you mean? High-end XPS laptops were about the same price as equivalent Intel Macs - judging just by features (RAM, etc), of course MacBooks have much superior build quality.

I’d reckon equivalent M1 Macs are much cheaper.

If you value your time >20$/hr macs are cheaper because you don't need to waste 20 hours fixing stuff.

And if you're OK with the "Apple" way of doing things.

The moment you deviate, all bets are off.

>> Mac is much more expensive

I think that was a valid argument before Apple Silicon.
