Which has always been true. They just don’t sell cheap low perforlance hardware. It’s like complaining ferraris are expensive, and then someone points out actually they have a lot of performance for what you pay for… yeah…
To be clear i haven’t bought apple in decades and never will again. I used to be a big fan in the 2000s and 2010s though.
I run two machines at home, one for gaming (Linux) and a Mac Mini for music production. I don’t do much else on the Mac so I am genuinely curious - in what ways do Macs not let you do what you want? I’ve had to allow unsigned apps a handful of times, but I was never stopped from running them.
In some countries (like Brazil), apple was never the best bang for your buck. For comparison, right now, a brand new 13" Macbook Air M4 (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) is over 1700 USD. You can get similar performance at ~400USD below that.
Me when I hate Apple and can’t think straight
Their laptop are amongst the best for the price right now and since a bit of time

More performance maybe but you’re trapped in their walled garden so you can’t do what you want with it.
Yep 100%
