"Better" is a relative term. Better in what, for which purpose?

There is currently no fanless laptop that can run linux (at least macos is not windows, so good enough for me, I do have some standards) that can even remotely be compared to a macbook air. Or in general to meet the quitness of higher end macbooks except under heavy load, or the performance you get on the go. I am just tired of having a "jet engine" making constant noise in my room. We have been waiting for qualcomm snapdragons to catch up, maybe after a few more iterations they will stop being a disappointment, and then I may switch to a snapdragon (or amd or intel or whoever manages to get there) laptop with linux.

This does not even include other aspects that macbooks are superior to whatever I have used in the past, eg their touchpads or speakers, which I discovered just when I switched.
