What Apple offers that nobody else seems to is _consumer-friendly_ high-end hardware. I've been given company-issued Dell laptops (for example) that zipped along beautifully, even with Windows installed. When I asked the IT department where they bought them so I could buy one myself, they weren't even sure where they came from. I'm sure they cost the same as a high-end macbook (and performed comparably) but apparently you have to be a multinational conglomerate in order to procure one.

Dell is easy to find, although they have too many models. Take the model number and search their website with it. Searching the support site with service tag will get information as well.

I was a dell fan for a while, but never realized how bad the keyboard was until I switched, and how jittery the intel processor was, maybe that's changed but the issue of operating system excellence is still completely off the table
