Yeah, the pricing of the hardware is quite steep, but the OS is quite good. To be fair, some of the parts of a MacBook have an astonishing quality, like the speakers, the keyboard, mousepad, screen. Stuff that you must search pretty hard to find in the competition in the same package.
This is pretty much my view, hardware is good, software is good, price is stupid, and Apple being Apple can suck. But I'm happy with it
Sometimes they have deals which can make them have a pretty decent pricing... but it's a rare sometimes.
Dell precision 5570
Maxed our about $3000, not bad, but an i9 no thank you.
Probably would be better off getting a MacBook Pro 14" with 16 gb of ram and the base M2 Pro with 512gb SSD. Half that hardware of the Dell would get eaten up by Windows garbage and I can't really use Linux to work.
