They only have like 2% of the PC/laptop market, so not many people think they're that attractive. I like my M1 MacBook itself, but hate the aluminum chassis. I find it brutally garish, sharp and uncomfortable (hurts to type on, hurts my wrists where they rest on a sharp edge, so it's basically a desktop with an attached keyboard and mouse)

It's fine that you don't like it, but it's not garish. That's just not what the word means. MacBooks are literally the opposite of that:

adjective

gar· ish | \ ˈger-ish \

Definition

//a garish clown

2 a : excessively or disturbingly vivid

//garish colors

//garish imagery

Apologies then, I understood it to mean tasteless, not necesarrily bright or colorful.

Admitting when you’re wrong is tough. Here’s an upvote.

Do most people buy a laptop based mainly on appearance? I always thought that most people buy a Windows laptop because that's what they need for work/school (or what they are most familiar with from work/school).

Many of my friends think most windows laptops look garish

Windows 11 is pretty terrible. So much bad design, I wonder how they do it.
