For some reason, Macbooks are considered sexy. No wonder; Apple produces fashion accessories that double as pieces of advanced technology. To my mind, their only outstanding quality is battery life.

Then, MacOS is bundled with these machines. It's very opinionated and highly integrated; little needs adjustment, or cab be adjusted at all. For some people, it's a relief.

Last but absolutely not least is that many companies standardize on few vendors and few models, ideally, only one vendor. Apple gladly fills this niche, admittedly offering good technical support, and enthusiastic sales force. As an engineer, you're not given a choice; I've been in such situation several times.

Before the butterfly keyboard disaster at least, Apple laptops were known for their excellent industrial design and usability. I'm not a huge fan of the screen notch (though arguably you're not losing anything from it) but the current MacBook Pro has an amazingly bright screen and terrific speakers (and they also fixed the keyboard.) An underrated feature of Mac laptops is that their integrated mics aren't terrible.
