There is no undebatably best consumer laptop for the simple reason that different users have different requirements and priorities.

And for some, things that Apple do are a no go. Like glued parts, limited Linux support, no OLED screens, no post buy upgradability, overpriced RAM upgrades, limited and finicky multimonitor support for most models.

So clearly it is debatable and depends on who you ask.

Yep, everyone has different requirements and things they'll put up with. Personally, the touchpad on my Dell laptop is absolutely terrible, but it's not hard to get a wireless (or wired) mouse and plug that in, so I can have a reasonably-priced laptop that works well with Linux.

> limited and finicky multimonitor support for most models.

I’ve never had an issue, and I regularly plug in one or two at a time. Even two that lie and say they are the same monitor with same serial and it still just works. Although, only after m1 and beyond.

Yeah and you can't plug in a third. I'd call that limited

[sroussey]

I plugin a third just fine.

You have to get a 3999€ max for that right?

I threw them all together in my mind and didn't check the display capabilities of the max MB.

I got a Max in the 14” notebook, yeah, but not 3999€ for me at least.
