I was going to make a similar comparison.

There is a lot of dismissal in this discussion but there are people here like me who buy macbook pros that are solid/overbuilt, beautiful, just work without maintenance, and have very limited upgrade paths.

If I had the money and property I might be tempted. “Point and shoot” is the phrase that comes to mind. The thing looks like it will work the few times a year I remember to get excited. You can let friends have a go and take requests throughout the year, etc.

But I don’t have the means so I come here for the valuable alternative clues!
