I second this. For $2000 I built an absolute monster of a desktop PC. Super fast, never an issue and I use it for everything. I only use my MacBook when I wanna sit on the couch and that's it. Thankfully I got my laptop through work almost for free because it wouldn't have been worth the money.

HN users can't tell the difference between a laptop and a desktop apparently.

But how about a comparable laptop?

Yeah, no shit it’s cheaper to put a ton of high TDP components into a massive chassis with nearly limitless cooling.

Powerful, portable, cheap. Pick two.

With apple you pick one.
