You literally just compared a laptop running arch to a mac. You’re not the target audience lmao

The laptop ships with Windows 11 but its parts are compatible with Linux too.

That is an important note though, the price includes a valid Windows 11 license.

That wasn’t the point. You’re a person who runs arch, that means most likely your requirements for a computer are VERY different than the target for this Mac. There’s always some other computer you can buy, but most people will just buy the Mac

I do software development, video + image editing, writing and gaming. My requirements are it runs well, I can depend on it and I don't mind if it has a fan.

I only replied because the OP's comment made it seem like it's difficult to find a good laptop in the $600 range. If macOS is optional you can get quite decent specs.
