> I mean a beautiful screen, reasonable dimensions & weight, a really good touchpad, great battery life, etc.
The competition on the other side is on specs. It's hard to stick hardware with bigger numbers in a thin case. Look at Intel's NUCs vs the Mac Mini... they come with a power brick larger than the computer to win in specs, while Apple has an elegant built in PSU.
And... a working touchpad that can actually replace a mouse for 95% of use cases? How are you going to market that?
You want the largest numbers, you have to go with the others. If you can stomach windows. You want a less annoying experience, Apple unfortunately has about zero competition there. Which is bad even for Apple users because then you get masterpieces like the butterfly keyboard...
