None that offer similar quality across the board in display, speakers, input devices, performance, battery life. Trust me I’ve looked. Alternative laptops aren’t really any cheaper any more unless you get something of significantly lesser quality, in which case there’s nothing surprising about that - something worse is cheaper.
Isn’t apple consistently removing ports on their newer products? I thought that was a common complaint.
It’s genuinely been ages since i’ve heard anyone try to defend the pricing of apple products for anything other than luxury purchases or rich people products. They’re vastly overpriced and underpowered, and they’re locked into the apple ecosystem. If you aren’t buying apple products for everything, suddenly a lot of shit doesn’t “just work” anymore lmao
