The build quality and display quality of Apple computers has kept me coming back for years. To this day, the colour and crispness of my 2004 17” iMac G4 beats the crap out of my 4-year-old Lenovo.

Thermals are super key, too. The author is completely ignoring a massive subset of features that just doesn’t make sense to me.

I’m not sure if the author just doesn’t have a job that requires them to use MacOS, doesn’t use it; or hasn’t spent a lot of time with either of those laptops.

For a professional photo or video editor, for instance - the performance gains from the ASUS would mean nothing compared to the quality of the Retina Display, the ability to work at native print resolution, colour correctness; and build quality if they’re taking it on the field.

I've used Mac hardware for over 25 years and own both laptops.
