Wouldn't entirely agree... when the 2016 MacBooks came out I thought they were wildly expensive and looked at the possibility of buying a windows laptop, even the top end ones looked and felt like crap, and we were talking near Macbook price.
I am sure there are some exceptions but most other laptops are just crap.

I don't think this is true, there's a lot of really fucking nice non-mac laptops out there now.
The look and feel of MacBooks (and other Apple products for that matter) is indeed top notch,
yet gotta say all that sexy unibody shinyness is moot when their motherboards or graphic cards die or the fucking keyboards do not work properly. -

That's not remotely an objective assessment, even if the assumption is that Windows is the only other option for a laptop OS. If you wander away from the Macverse, you do find yourself having to do a lot more research and, should you find a combination of hardware and config choices that suits you, you may find yourself having to do it all again in a few years time. How much that hassle is worth depends on your particular skills and needs. But the actual production quality and reliability in Macverse has been steadily declining.
Been using Mac hardware as either my work or personal laptop since OS X was a thing. Giving the latest hardware iteration a miss and may never wander back. Will see.
I don't think there's much difference. The problem is generally that people are comparing £1.5k macs against £300 laptops and unsurprisingly the expensive items are better.
