I use it because Apple is the only manufacturer that understands that laptops need great displays, keyboards, and trackpads. Most other laptop manufacturers fail in one or all of those categories. The new Framework 13 may be an exception to this, but as someone that bought the 16, that was hot garbage. So I gave it up for a Macbook.
With Asahi, I have a rock-solid Linux experience on a laptop with good build quality.
It’s not really that Apple put decent speakers in their laptops. They use very smart software-DSP technology to make them sound good. And that’s a prowess.

Oh, also speakers. Apple puts decent speakers in their laptops. The FW 16 had worse sound than many phones that I’ve had.
