Well, I'll go ahead and argue about quality then.

Apple products are fashion devices that work pretty well most of the time. I don't think they're the best by any stretch, but they have a consistent design aesthetic and pretty complex engineering (and that complexity is where problems lie).

Anyway, buy what you like, just don't delude yourself into thinking they're a step above everything else. Google Pixel has a better camera, ThinkPads have better keyboards, and AMD MiniPCs (e.g. minisforum) are more compact. Buy what fits your needs, but don't just knee-jerk buy Apple because it's "better," whatever that means.
