I was referring to the desktop space. Apple is a lot more competitive in the laptop space (unless you’re a gamer), but their desktop specs always made me laugh at the price they ask for it. Granted, I haven’t looked recently, but any time I’ve looked in the past, their price seems about 1k too high for what they are offering.

But yeah, x86 laptops are generally a shitshow. I had a decent personal one, though that was used more like a very portable desktop than a true laptop. That one just stopped charging one day (though its timing was impeccable because I was already in the process of moving my files to a new desktop I had just built, just had to pull the drives out to get the rest of it). And a cheap one I threw Linux on for school that did the job. But my first work laptop at my current job was garbage and the current one is relatively better, but also has a bunch of issues, enough that I don’t think very highly of HP even ignoring their printer bs.
