- The trackpad (but other manufacturers now have tolerable alternatives and anyway you can work without it)
- The screen : at an equivalent price point (and even more), nothing comes close to Apple screens. The cheapest MacBook have a better screen than most high end PCs.
- The audio : Apple truly did some sorcery to get such an awesome sound from machines that are flat as sheet. It’s so good that you can watch a movie on your MacBook without earbuds and don’t be bothered.
Everything else like build quality is overall better than most other alternatives but a few other manufacturers are also good at it.
I say this as someone who uses a MacBook for work despite loving Linux and who hates what macOS have become. The hardware is really that good.
It is my understanding that Apple did lock their trackpad tech behind a patent and that is why all the others suck. So it's really not their fault and it is very unfortunate if that's the case.
I use Chrome only for development it this would probably help with the debugging problems, finding reproduction steps and writing website flows and QA steps much easier.
Obviously I would never use this on the browser with all my private sessions active as it is a huge vulnerability risk as well as not a fan of all my data being sent straight to CIA/Mossad.
