> For the same cost as a MacBook, I got a really nice PC laptop with double the specs that runs linux flawlessly. I can also update the CPU, GPU, and RAM, which I can't do with a macbook.

My go to Laptop these days is the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 (either carbon or Yoga) very nicely built with a great keyboard, I hardly (if ever) heard the fan noise and except on a couple of models where the fingerprint driver isn't present, it works flawlessly ootb with Linux.

I'm still wondering what Lenovo were thinking when they came with Gen8 X1.

They used Comet Lake instead of Ice Lake - that results in things like HDMI port supporting only 1.4 (i.e. no 4k@60 there). It makes their current non competitive with 2020 XPS13 or 2020 MBP13, that do come with Ice Lake.
