Is this the slow decline of the Apple "cult"?

You are correct that the word "best" doesn't appear, but this was their meaning. These laptops are superior - you cannot buy anything better from another vendor at any price, period. The gap will likely close, but it's a fair comment to make today.

And so the Apple marketing magic has worked on you too.

'Good' is subjective, however I assure you there are faster and more powerful laptops on the market.

I use an Android phone by preference. There are faster and more powerful laptops on the market, but they are not better, and calling some of them laptops at all is a bit of a stretch. Apple have a vertical that is very difficult to compete with when it comes to overall quality. People aren't just buying them because they've all been hoodwinked by clever marketing.
