their software is not great but they literally make the best hardware on the planet right now. you don't get to being a 4 trillion dollar market cap by being trash. they must be doing something right.

It's not great, just everything else is worse. Windows is unbearably broken and loaded with adverts. Linux has been fairly neglected for desktops with few corporate sponsors.

Yes I admit the Silicon MacBooks are pretty good - albeit losing external GPU support and max 4 external monitors.

The Intel MacBooks were unusable though.

There is such a lack of competition. We really some new polished Linux variant.

Second-best, according to the stock market. They must be getting something wrong if 4.5 trillion in market cap is sitting around waiting to be eaten. By Apple's arch-enemy, no less.
Nvidia is more an industrial B2B business now.
So is Microsoft, arguably. They're valued at $3.5 trillion right now.
It just feels like all of them are over valued but then we are in a TINA market nowadays. Where else is the money going to go?
