It’s true that Apple continues to be the king of build quality. And while they do currently hold the performance per watt crown, there are plenty of laptops that beat the M2 when it comes to raw performance, especially if you throw in a dGPU. And of course, none of this matters if the device doesn’t run the software you want, which is what I suspect most people on Lemmy have issue with.
When I say performance I include the package as a whole. Battery-wise is top in the competition lasting more hours than the average Windows competitor, also the productivity software most times work a lot better on Mac than on Windows, so even if the Windows laptop has more raw power, while even consuming a lot more energy, Windows itself will for sure cripple the computer's performance.
If I was working on ASUS or any other OEM, I'd be pushing for usage of Linux distros like hell (I'd be pushing those based on Debian, like Ubuntu, Pop_OS, etc...).
